Explanation

Solution

A balanced dietdoes not include carbohydrates and fats

  • Sugar: A balanced diet always limits the level of sugars that are found in beverages, candies and sweets etc. There can be problems such as weight gain, dental problems and chronic disease like diabetes.
  • Saturated and trans fats: Saturated fats includes fatty meat, butter and many processed fats. Trans fats are the ones that are fried and have a lower level of good cholesterol level. All of this can lead to diseases and health problems.
  • Processed food: balanced diet includes unprocessed food rather than refined food. The processed food has a higher level of unhealthy fats, high levels of salts etc.
