Today , i will tell you how to keep a healthy diet for teenagers.

The food pyramid + The zombie Pyramid.



The picture on the left show's what you should eat per day , and the picture on the right is what the picture on the left helps.

Always remember : A Healthy diet is a Healthy life!​

A key aspect of achieving success with a healthy diet for teenagers, is to understand that you have to adopt healthy eating habits that promote the wellbeing of your body, and give up on abusing food. To get into shape, you need to gradually change your eating and exercise patterns, and not resort to crash diets or other extreme measures such as vomitting and bingeing. By eating nutritious foods at regular times instead of junk food, and not feeling guilty when you eat you will be well on your way to achieving success. Learn to cultivate a positive body image by feeling good about yourself, instead of comparing your body to the images portrayed in the media.

Strategies for healthy eating :​

1.Eat regularly, starting the day with a healthy breakfast, followed by lunch at midday, then dinner. In addition to this, have a healthy snack at mid morning, and another one at mid afternoon.

2.Be adventurous with your tastes! Add fruits and vegetables to your diet, as well as low fat dairy products like yoghurt.

3.Replace unhealthy foods with their healthier versions. (Try the low fat or sugar free versions of food). As you keep eating healthier foods, you will find that they these foods begin to taste better.

4.Drink plenty of water, to keep you feeling satisfied and hydrated through the day

5.Give junk food a miss. Skip the McDonalds, Twinkies, Pepsis, Cokes, pizzas, ice-creams and the myriad of other sugary, fatty and salty foods that advertisers keep pushing. Limit these foods to an occasional treat.

6.Slow down. Watch your portion sizes, savour your food, eat slowly, and stop eating when you are full. ​

Making the right choice :​

High Protein Foods. Proteins help build your muscles and keep you from overeating as they make you feel full. Examples are lean white meat, fish, beans, eggs, yoghurt, nuts and seeds. ​

Lean Dairy Foods. These have calcium and Vitamin D which your body needs for building your bones. If you develop strong bones as a teenager, you will reduce the risk of getting diseases such as osteoporosis later in life. Good dairy foods are low fat milk, yoghurt and cheese.​

Fruits and Vegetables.Have 2 servings of fruit and 5 of vegetables every day. Fruits and vegetables are packed with phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals and fibre and will keep your body in top condition mentally and physically.

Low Glycemic Load Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are the energy source for you body, but the best carbohydrates are those that are broken down slowly into glucose, keeping blood sugar levels stable. Examples are whole grain breads and cereals, lentils and vegetables.

Healthy Fats. You body needs fats to perform optimally, but you have to choose the right type of fats to eat. While saturated fats are bad, some fats are actually good for you, such as olive oil, nuts, seeds and oily fish. Include these in moderation in your daily diet to reduce long term risks for heart disease.​

And your on your way to a healthy diet!

I like the food pyramids, but this guide is ripped other than that part.
http://www.secretsofhealthyeating.com/healthy-diet-for-teenagers.html
Starting from the second paragraph, there's the guide.
If you say you found it on the web, at least cite WHERE you found it on the web

 

Nice guide good advice aswell,i like the food pyrmid and the zombie one pictures ill use it

 

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks straggler For the link , but it wasn't that website i found the information on.

It was a different website.
Ill still add it tho.

 

Although you gave credit, NEVER copy word for word, simply paraphrase it, the information in this guide is very helpful, however it is lacking in details. It can also be organized much better, Using color codes cleverly will help you, however don't abuse it .

Although you gave credit, NEVER copy word for word, simply paraphrase it, the information in this guide is very helpful, however it is lacking in details. It can also be organized much better, Using color codes cleverly will help you, however don't abuse it , alternating the same color confuses me, almost made me not want to read the guide. Also when using pictures, make sure to explain them, talk about pros and cons of each group of food. I really liked the second part of the guide, which were pretty helpful for me. Personally I love helpful tips .

 

No, this is getting reported. When he first posted the guide, he didn't mention the site. It also isn't 55% it's more like 90%, all he did is post the pictures and the rest is copy/pasted

 

The Zombie food pyramid is a joke. The food groups shown on the left don't help the body parts on the right at all. Nutrition is equally divided upon your body. If you wanted to genuinely write a food nutrition guide, then do some background research and then write up your guide instead of bullshitting a couple of obviously known food facts and combining it with another persons work and calling it your own. 1/10
