Nutrition Guidlines
Backed Up By Research
Nutrition
It we're trying to keep our weight
down, shouldn't we avoid all those
starchy foods -- the breads and pas
tas and potatoes?
No. In fact, research and experi
ence in recent years shows just the
opposite. Wholewheat breads, pas
tas, rice, oats, potatoes - in fact, all
vegetables, fruits and grains, all
"complex carbohydrates" - are far
less rattening than protein foods.
Not only do they have fewer calo
ries: they have few "fat calories."
(While 80% of a 5-ounce steak's
550 calories are from fat, a 5-
ounce potato has only 100 calories,
non of them fat calories.) And "fat
goes to fat." While carDohydrate
calories burn up fast, giving you
energy, fat calories are much more
likely to be stored in the fat cells of
the body.
That's why dieting is unsuccessful
in maintaining a desirable weight.
Nine out of ten people who diet re
gain the lost weiaht and more
when they ao off their diets. This
on-again, off-again "yo-yo dieting"
results in "driving themselves fatter
and fatter, both weight-wise and
composition-wise," nutrition re
searcher Dr. Janet Polivy of the
University of Toronto observed.
On the other hand, if you eat
more of the complex carbohydrates
(groins, fruits and vegetables) and
less fats (fat-laden meats and
whole dairy products) and sugars -
and if you exercise regularly - you
should reach and, importantly
maintain a desirable weignt.
But surely too much starchy food
isn't good for you?

It's hard to get too much. Jane
Brody, New York Times health and
nutrition writer, reported: "When
consumed mainly in their unrefined
state, complex carbohydrates rep
resent the only category of food
that won't undermine your health,
even if 80% of your calories come
from starch." The National Re
search Council recommends that
carbohydrates should account for
55% of your caloric intake, rather
than today's average 45%.
My family loves meat. How can I
cut out everything with fat in it?
You shouldn't in fact, couldn't
have a no fat die*. Fats and other
nutritional elements, found mainly
in meat, are as much as 50% fat
calorie - necessary for good health.
But it's a matter of quantity. Re
search shows that too much fat and
too much cholesterol contribute to
obesity, high blood pressure, heart
disease and cancer. That's why if
we could cut out our fat intake by
only 20% (from 36% of our caloric
intake to 30%), we'd be accom
plishing a lot for our health and
longevity.
