So when you go out to eat, try to eat half of what you've got, and take the other half home to eat the next day, or share it with somebody you go with. Weighing and measuring foods at home can help you out. I don't expect anyone to do it for the rest of their lives, but getting a grasp on portion size would be helpful to you. Getting back to the three main nutrients in our diets, your body requires these nutrients to live. Protein, fat, and carbohydrates those are the three nutrients.
Protein builds and repairs muscles, builds and repairs skin and other cells.
So our body requires protein. Only half of it turns into sugar when it is digested and absorbed in our system, so it doesn't have a great deal of effect on our blood sugars. We find our protein sources mainly in our meats and milk products. Then we've got fats, our second nutrient. Excess fat will cause heart disease and weight gain.
