04/27/12
(HealthDay News) -- When you commit to healthy eating, it means
more than choosing fresh veggies over French fries. It's changing
the
way you eat, too.
The American Diabetes Association offers these guidelines for
healthy eating:
- Choose a variety of healthy foods, including lean meats, fresh
vegetables and fruits, whole grains and non-fat dairy
products.
- Limit portion sizes.
- Avoid eating too much of the same type of food.
- Eat meals regularly throughout the day at evenly spaced
intervals.
- Don't skip any meal.
