Occasionally, person will change their eating habits for [[health]] reasons, such as a [[fat]] person who eats less food, or a [[diabetes|diabetic]] who must avoid [[sugar]] (carbohydrates). Choose foods that are good for you and eat them in the right amounts. The closer a food is to its natural state, the better it is for you. Fresh fruits and berries are great and will satisfy a craving for sweets. Whole vegetables have lots of vitamins and minerals, so eat more green, orange and yellow vegetables. Baked fish and chicken are healthier than fried, and lean meats like bison or venison may be healthier than higher fat beef.
