    my diet is pretty normal

    Hi everybody, my diet is pretty normal, although there are too little vegetables and fruits. I do not have any eating disorders and I am not on other diet, although if that one would help me, please recommend a diet plans. But I love meats. Can someone please come up with diet plans and exercise plans for me? If they have been proven to work very well, then I'll happily follow them. Please help.

    What has become normal to the western world is not that great.

    I recommend you talk with a licensed dietitian if you want solid advice... It takes full medical and health information including your weight and height, current level of activity, current intake of calories, blood tests... that sort of thing. There are tons of fad diets around that will do you no good, so if you are concerned about your health go see a professional.

    Or, if you are selling something, you could just cut to the chase

    What is it with spammers and presentation?

    Use some paragraphs, and maybe longer sentences for a change.

    Why does it always sound like the writer is not using their first language?

    If this forum gets any worse with spam, I might need to get my tin foil hat out soon.

    I would recommend eating more vegetables and fruit, then.

    Eat sensible amounts of meat, and eat vegetables with it. And maybe some fruit for dessert.

    Sure: don't eat excessive amounts of anything, and try to eat more vegetables and fruit. Oh, and get off your arse and get a bit of exercise.

    Avoiding eating excessively, making sure that you include enough fruit and vegetables in your diet and getting off your arse and getting some exercise works fine. Try it.

    And if any charlatan shows up offering to sell you a diet plan, or to sell you supplements instead of eating a balanced diet, tell them where to stuff it.

    The best way to lose weight is to increase exercise, most peoples dietary requirements are filled by a normal eating regime. Unless you are really abusing your body with your diet exercise is the best way to go.

    I think the idea behind it is that your metabolism increases every time you eat food, of course protein is good for this and many vegetables are high in protein, fruit however is not. ones things for sure tho diet is not as simple as that, that being healthier is not as simple as eating more fruit and veg. I'd say tripple needs to visit a dietitian as well?

    Fruit is high in fructose and energy dense compared to, say a steak whilst also having a lower Glycemic index measurement.

    As for eating more fruit and veg, whilst it's not a miracle cure it's probably the easiest and simplest thing to change to improve an 'average' persons diet.

    'Eating' being an important word in that sentence. Drinking juices doesn't give the body the necessary fibre from the fruit.

    This from a couple of months ago:

    Hmmm....

    Whilst probably true that just juice is bad; *

    No real numbers ("increase of 18%" is meaningless without a number to start from)

    No mention of whether juice was drunk by itself or as part of a meal (probably far less harmful with a couple of slices of Wholemeal toast)

    How was the comparison done? With the wording it implies that 1 glass of juice = Juice of 3 oranges. Whilst I enjoy an orange I don't eat 3 at a sitting, they'd be strung out during the day.

    At the moment it's hard enough to get people to comply with "5 a day", if we start excluding certain items then we're back to the confusion the campaign was trying to stamp out.

    A quick peek at the 'From the MedGurus' dropdown has 'Allopathy' at the top of the list and it goes downhill from there. Wouldn't be my first choice for that sort of data.

    *A quick search of Pubmed turned up nothing and don't have time for more at the moment.

    Re: my diet is pretty normal

    I remember hearing about that study on the news on and tv at the time - but that was first link I found yesterday. My skeptical radar was temporarily switched off I think.

    I'm sure that the official 5-a-day advice used to not include juices, however if you look at the nhs site nowadays they are happy to include juices. As you say, it's hard enough to get people to eat enough fruit, so juices are better than nothing.

    Personally I have a glass of orange juice every morning, but it's with a protein shake and bowl of porridge. I've always been a bit wary (from the times I did a GI style diet a few years ago) of the potential sugar boost from drinking juice on it's own.

    Found the paper, it was published online before print.

    It does say that the high sugar content and quick absorption when drunk alone are probably the causes, so your morning OJ is safe
