you are what you eat

1. You’re a heart-healthy eater if…
* You limit fat intake by trimming fat off meat and using low fat dairy.
* You eat two to three servings of vegetables daily.
* You eat four or fewer servings of carb (rice, potatoes) and alternatives a day.
* You limit sweets and desserts but still eat them in small amounts.

Your risk of heart disease is lower than most people, thanks to your love of vegetables, fruit, lean meat and fish. However, you should eat more foods rich in high-fibre carbs, unsaturated fat and protein from plant sources (beans and legumes).

2. You’re a high-fat eater if…
* You like foods rich in animal fat – red meat and full cream milk.
* You like vegetables with plenty of sauce and dressing.
* You avoid adding sugar to foods, but have a sweet tooth.
* You often use butter of jam when you eat bread.

Meat, sauces, butter, full-fat dairy, sweets – you’ll only feel satisfied after a rich, tasty meal. Your conscience makes you choose low-fat foods once in a while but you still end up More >
