FOODS TO LIMIT

IN OUR PREVIOUS LESSONS, WE'VE COVERED A LOT ABOUT HEALTHY EATING, FROM CALORIES AND CHOOSING THE RIGHT FOODS TO THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRIENTS AND CREATING A BALANCED PLATE. IN THIS QUICK LESSON, WE'LL TALK ABOUT FOODS TO LIMIT.

Foods to Watch Out For

While we've focused on making wise choices, it's equally important to be mindful of foods that can be not-so-healthy for your body. Some foods, because of their high calories, sugar, or fat content, should be limited. Let's take a look at a few of them:

  • Sweet Foods: This category includes items like candy and cookies. While they might be tasty, they can be high in calories, and eating too much can lead to weight gain.

  • Fatty Foods: These are the ones high in fat, like lard, bacon, and full-fat cheese. They're not only calorie-heavy but also can be bad for your heart, so it's best to keep them in check.

Healthy Choices are Key

As we've learned throughout this series, the key to preventing type 2 diabetes and maintaining overall health is making healthy food choices. By keeping sweet and fatty foods to a minimum, you're giving your body the best chance to stay strong and well.

In our final lesson, we'll recap all that we've learned and reinforce the importance of healthy eating. You've come a long way in your journey to becoming a healthy eating pro, and we'll conclude with some essential takeaways. Keep up the good work!
