Would it be a good idea to pick just 5 or 6 things to eat. And eat nothing but that over and over again. It would help me make better eatting choices. So my question is what would be good to put on the list of 6
Thanks

No it would be a terrible idea. You would become bored and dissilusioned quickly, and also by narrowing your nutritional scope, you run a greater chance of missing out on essential nutrients, ie. if you choose veg that is consistently low in vit D, then over time you will become defficient in that vitamin.

Vary your diet as much as possible, use herbs and spices to give flavour instead of sauces and salt.

Make sure you have sensinle quantities of carbohydrate (rice, pasta, cereals, potatoes, bread) and adequate amounts of protein (beans, pulses, fish, poultry, lean meat, eggs), reduced fat dairy produce and 5 varied portions of fruit and veg per day.

Amen!

Thank you for your advice I did not think about missing vitamins in my foods. I take a one a day multivitamin. But I do see your point that the same foods would get boring after a time. I am just going to have to watch what I eat and eat less more often.
Thanks again
