RESOUECES

(Julia, 2014)

The food pyramid is guideline for what to consume each day based on five food groups. Those groups are; Fruit and vegetables Bread, other cereals and potatoes Meat and fish Milk and Dairy products Sugar and fat contain foods South Beach Diet recommended to eat more vegetables, fruits and cereals per day. Because fruits and vegetable contain high amount of vitamins and minerals which help to keep our body healthy. It also help to prevent chronic diseases. All cereals, bread items and potatoes goes under Starchy food category. It is act as a good energy source and contain different kind of nutrients. Such as Vitamin B, Iron and calcium (Eatwell Plate, 2014). Meat and fish are good sources of protein, minerals and vitamins. Some types of meat and fish contain fat. But that is not recommended for a healthy diet. Therefore South Beach diet advice eat low amount of meat than fruit and vegetables (Eatwell Plate, 2014). Cheese, yoghurt, milk are good sources of protein, calcium, Vitamin B12 and A. And also it is help to strong bones and teeth. Dairy products can contain different amount of saturated fat. So it is recommended that consume less amount or choose law fat products.Sugar and fat foods can cause to have different kind of diseases. Such as Diabetics, Blood pressure, heart attack etc. and it can cause tooth decay too. Therefor this dangerous food category in diet that we need to minimize (Eatwell Plate, 2014).PART IIDiet (South Beach Diet)Normal

COMPARISONAccording to South beach diet breakfast, it contain low carbohydrate amount. But in my diet I took more carbohydrate. The reason is that most Sri Lankan people take a long sleep after the diner and they do not have enough food in the stomach to be energetic in the morning. In the South Beach Diet Plan they have introduced a snack which contains less calories, but in my snack the calorie amount is bit higher. I think that as a snack is taking between two meals, its better to have less calories.In the lunch the calorie amount is nearly equal in South Beach Diet and mine. Again while the South Beach Diet comes with a less carbohydrate lunch, I have taken a high carbohydrate diet as mine. Because, most Sri Lankans work hard and they need more energy. Carbohydrate supplies this energy necessity. When it comes to protein, I think the South Beach Diet is better because I have a less amount of protein in my diet when comparing to them. I need to be concern about this and add some more protein to my diet.The South Beach Diet have a high amount of protein and calories in their dinner. I only have a less amount of these in my diet. While sleeping our body is resting, and if we eat a rich diet the body have to digest by its own. Because we dont do any work and make the body tired to digest food easily. Another fact is that when body start working on digesting the food we eat for dinner we are unable to have a good sleep. The reason is the body still keep working during the night in a high efficiency as it works on digesting process. Therefore, my recommendation is to have a less protein and calorie diet for dinner. The South Beach Diet Plan recommends to drink mineral water. In my diet plan I have introduced KOLA KANDA (A typical Sri Lankan drink, mixture of some herbs, water and cooked rice. All these ingredients are blend and prepared to drink as a juice) I believe that KOLA KANDA have many nutrition than just water, so it is good to drink KOLA KANDA rather than drinking plain mineral water. Also it has a mouth-watering taste. By considering the all facts, I finally decide to stick with my own diet plan. South Beach Diet Plan is designed for the Europeans who eat foods which contains higher amount of Fat and Proteins mainly. They get chubby due to having unconscionable nutritious within a single diet. In Sri Lanka mostly we eat organic foods and we work hard. Our food doesnt contains much fat. So, we dont have an obesity problem like Europe. Therefore, my diet plan is more effective and suitable for Sri Lankans.
