Food can be divided into:

Nutrients that provide energy

proteins

carbohydrates

lipids (or fats)

Nutrients that do not provide energy

fibre

water

mineral salts

trace elements

vitamins

Have three good meals every day. Never miss a meal because if you do the body will be threatened by starvation and will lay down fat.

Have a substantial breakfast, followed by a good lunch and a lighter evening meal.

If you have a carbohydrate-protein meal (no saturated fats and little polyunsaturated fats or mono-saturated fats) the carbohydrate foods must have a Glycæmic index of less than 50.

If you have a protein-lipid meal (meat with fat) the carbohydrate foods must have a Glycæmic index of less than 35.
