It's not always easy to eat healthy foods when others seem to eat whatever they want. Follow the tips and
know that it will make a difference in your life.
What about sweet foods?
Everyone likes the taste of sweet foods! Small amounts of sweet foods can be part of a healthy meal plan.
Sugary foods include soda, sweetened fruit drinks, honey, and candy. Desserts such as cakes, pies, cookies,
and ice cream contain a lot of fat as well as sugar. If you choose to eat any of these sweet foods, just have a
small amount at the end of a healthy meal. Have a piece of fruit if you are still hungry. Drink water, sugar-free
soda, and sugar-free fruit drinks, if you are thirsty, instead of drinks that are all high in sugars.
How much should you eat?
Your height, weight, age, whether you are a boy or a girl, and how active you are will affect how much
food you need to eat each day to stay at a healthy weight. Everyone is different. Talk to your doctor or diet
expert about how much to eat, especially if you need to lose weight. If you take in more food than your body
burns, you will gain weight. If you take in less food than your body burns, you will lose weight. Being active
and eating smaller amounts of food and fewer sweet or fatty foods can help overweight kids lose weight in a
healthy way. You will keep your heart healthy, too.
