(2.0 points)WHY YOUR HEALTHY DIET ISN’TThink you’re eating healthily? Think again Once upon a time, eating was simple. You plucked food from trees or hunted it in the wild. You ate when you were hungry and stopped when you were full. Now, due to improved efficiency in food production, food comes in boxes and cans, with complicated labels and misleading names. Not surprisingly, the kinds of people who consider themselves healthy eaters have multiplied as well. There are vegetarians who abstain from animal protein but eat few vegetables, and snackers who nibble nonstop to keep their energy up. The problem is that many people become so obsessed with extremes that they no longer appreciate, or enjoy, food for the good things it provides (including flavor). This can lead to poor nutrition. With the help of food and nutrition expert Dr. Elaine Turner, we look at three people’s diets and offer some easy, practical suggestions to help them get the most out of their meals. First up is Diana Collins, 19, a university student who wants to lose weight, it might not be very scientific, she says, “but I have this idea that if I don’t want to be fat, I shouldn’t eat fat.” She’s on a low–fat diet and most of what she eats consists of nonfat food like pasta, cereal bars and fatfree crisps. Because she never feels full, she’s constantly eating – and consuming far more calories than she needs. “This diet is quite oldfashioned,” says Dr. Turner. “Some fats are beneficial, like nuts and olive oil, and staples like pasta contain lots of calories. Diana should add more fat and protein early in the day. A good breakfast of scrambled eggs and mushrooms will mean that she eats less during the rest of the day. She should also use olive oil as a salad dressing”. Our second subject is Gos Hussain. Gos is sixteen and has chosen to be a vegetarian because of his concern for animal rights. However, some people aren’t so much vegetarians as they are food avoiders. Gos survives on cheese pizza, pasta, and sweets. “We’ve got nothing against a meatless diet, as long as it’s approached properly, but some vegetarians simply don’t eat enough vegetables, not to mention fruit and protein,” Dr. Turner says. She advises Gos to fill his plate with food in variety of colors, a quick and simple way to ensure that you get your daily requirement of important vitamins and other healthy substances. “Gos is still growing so what he eats is even more important. He should go for toppings like spinach and peppers rather than cheese alone, and cut down on the amount of cheese generally.” Finally, there’s the snacker, Lisa Chandler. Lisa is eighteen and works as a secretary. She likes to think that she has a fairly healthy diet and always has quite small meals. “I’m lucky in that I never seem to put any weight on no matter what I eat, but I want to look after my body because I know that it’s the only one I’ve got”. Dr. Turner agrees that longterm health is important, but what some people don’t realize is that they pick all day at nominally healthy food like raisins or reducedfat biscuits and end up eating twice as much as they should. Lisa might be slim now, but all those minimeals will eventually add pounds without boosting energy levels. “The philosophy behind snacking is that you eat several small meals instead of three big ones,” Turner says, “but it doesn’t mean that you can just eat throughout the day. Lisa needs to avoid having snacks by her computer where she’ll be tempted to use them to relieve boredom or stress. Stash your goods in the cupboard or refrigerator where they belong and remember that yoghurt with berries or apple wedges with peanut butler make good snacks. There’s really nothing better than a sensible, wellbalanced diet that gives your body exactly what it needs.”1. The writer says that food today_________(A) is produced using artificial methods.(B) is worse quality than in the past.(C) is less filling than it should be.(D) comes in confusing packaging.2. What does “This” in line 8 refer to? _________ (A) eating food that is full of flavor but unhealthy (B) taking an extreme view of what a healthy diet is (C) lack of knowledge about dieting (D) constantly changing the diet you are on3. The problem with Diana’s diet is that she _________ (A) doesn’t get the energy she needs. (B) forgets to eat in the morning. (C) needs to eat the right kind of fat. (D) is bored by what she eats.4. What does Dr. Turner suggest Gos do? _________(A) eat a broader range of food(B) try to avoid eating pizza(C) eat larger portions of food(D) stop eating cheese5. Dr. Turner believes that Lisa’s diet will lead to her ______(A) gaining weight.(B) having more energy.(C) developing health problems.(D) spending more money on food.II.
