Frequently Asked Questions

Why is eating healthy important?

A healthy diet is essential for good health and nutrition. It protects you against many chronic noncommunicable diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

How much should I eat in a day?

How much food a person should eat depends on their height, weight, age, sex, level of physical activity, health, genetics, body composition, and more. Because of this, own research should be done. Remember, every one is unique!

How much calories can I intake in a day?

Many people tend to have unrealistic expectations and often eat too much, resulting in unwanted weight gains. You can find your body's ideal calorie intake per day using calculators found online.

How long can I go without eating?

We can go days or sometimes weeks without food because of adjustments to our metabolism and energy consumption. Not eating for long periods can lead to weight loss.

What happens when I don't meet the calorie intake in a day?

It Can Cause Fatigue and Nutrient Deficiencies. Regularly eating fewer calories than your body requires can cause fatigue and make it more challenging for you to meet your daily nutrient needs.

Do I need to exercise while dieting to make me lose weight faster?

While it's possible to create the needed calorie deficit to lose weight through dietary changes alone, diet and exercise together is key for sustaining long-term weight loss.

What types of food should I mostly eat?

Using Harvard's Healthy Eating Plate as a guide, we recommend eating mostly vegetables, fruit, and whole grains, healthy fats, and healthy proteins. We suggest drinking water instead of sugary beverages, and we also address common dietary concerns such as salt and sodium, vitamins, and alcohol.

What kind of food should I rarely eat?

There's just one basic guideline to remember: A healthy diet includes more foods from the base of the pyramid than from the higher levels of the pyramid. Perhaps the only foods that are truly off-limits are foods that contain trans fat from partially hydrogenated oils.
