Eat roughly the same amount of calories that your body is using. A healthy weight is a balance between energy consumed and energy that is 'burnt off'.
Increase consumption of plant foods, particularly fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts.
Limit intake of fats, and prefer less unhealthy unsaturated fats to saturated fats and trans fats.
Limit the intake of sugar. A 2003 report recommends less than 10% simple sugars.[4]
Limit salt / sodium consumption from all sources and ensure that salt is iodized.
