Achieve a well-balanced diet by eating more fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates high in fiber and limiting your intake of unhealthy saturated fats.

Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are nutrient-rich, low in fat and calories and generally low in carbohydrates. The high water content in produce allows you to eat a higher volume of food for fewer calories. In addition to the water content, produce is also a source of fiber, which provides a satiating effect on the appetite, filling you up for longer than eating simple, refined processed carbohydrates. Increased satiety levels may prevent over-eating which could contribute to a higher total caloric intake and weight gain. Produce, such as berries, are also a source of antioxidants which help to prevent several forms of cancer and heart conditions.
