Answer:

If you answered 'Yes' to ten or more statements in this section, you are almost certainly eating a poorly planned diet that isn't providing your body with the nutrients it needs to function properly. If you answered 'Yes' to between five and ten statements, you diet is probably lacking in several importwnt nutrients and you could be overloading your body with too much saturated fat, refined sugar and salt. Carry on like this and your health will soon suffer. Eating erratically, skipping meals and snacking eventually tale a toll on your energy levels and your health. Too much of any nutrient - whether it's sugar, fat, or alcohol - overburdens your digestive and elimation systems and increases the chances of fat storage. But dieting is not the answer. Instead you need to make simple but lasting changes to the way you eat, choose nutritious foods, and learn to eat in a way that suits your lifestyle.
