16.A ‘healthy’ diet is actually very simple and is the best way to maintain a healthy weight
Sugar is highly addictive and makes you put on weight. It even makes you hungry.
Pure sugar is the worst but the sugars/carbohydrates found in white breads and white pasta, for example, have a similar effect on your health and weight.
To simplify things completely, a healthy diet should contain plenty of whole foods that you cook yourself. That means brown breads and pasta and rice - sometimes if not all the time. You need a good amount of protein with most meals rather than just eating starch. Each meal should ideally be made up of roughly 30% vegetables.
Also eat fruits, nuts and healthy olive oil.
A small amount of sugar each day is fine for most people. A constant craving for sugar foods is a tell-tale sign that things are not good!
