Healthy Diet ( Quantity: much, many, few, little, lots of)

A Healthy Diet

Many people nowadays try to follow a healthy diet, although not many experts agree about what this is. In fact lots of people assume that 'diet' is something connected with losing weight. Diet simply refers to the kind of food and how much of it we eat. There are very few foods that we can decribe as completely 'unhealthy', and not many foods have zero nutritonial value. 

However, if you eat lots of chocolate and fried food and take little exercise, then your diet would probably be described as 'unhealthy'. Many experts recommend that we all eat lots of fruit and vegetables, and eat very little fatty food. People are often surprised when they discover how much fat there is in popular fast food such as burgers and pizzas, or how many calories there are in soft drinks. Unfortunately few of us can resist this kind of food, and there are not many people who are prepared to give up chocolate or chips. There are few easy answer to the question 'what is a healthy diet?'. However, if we eat lots of  different kinds of food, drink lots of water, and make sure we take lots of exercise, then we will be going in the right direction. After all, none of us are perfect!
