If you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
The problems associated with low carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Higher consumption of animal-based products could lead into elevated consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which most authorities believe will increase the risk of coronary problems.
Cutting out carbs may mean missing out on necessary nutrients from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well-balanced diet, specifically those obtained from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Foods rich in lycopene
