452. Healthy Diet © Bruce Goodman 5 January 2015 |
“To put it mildly,” said the doctor to Vaughan, “you’re carrying too much weight.” The doctor gave Vaughan a pamphlet, called A Fit and Healthy You, that outlined healthy eating. Vaughan promised to follow it. Three servings of vegetables, and two servings of fruit: potatoes, carrots, Swiss chard, bananas and pineapple. Six servings of bread and cereal: toast, cornflakes, pasta, rice, oats... Two servings of dairy products: cheese and yoghurt. Two servings of lean meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and nuts. Eight glasses of water. “Right,” thought Vaughan, “this diet caper is not as bad as I thought. That’s breakfast over. Now what’s for lunch?” |
