Imagine for a few moments that you are walking through an open-air food market on a warm summer’s day. The fruit and vegetable stalls are brimming over with fresh foods that are practically inviting you to eat them. Red and green peppers, and purple aubergines glisten in the sun; onions, garlic and olives are bursting with flavour; fresh basil and parsley; ripe peaches and nectarines; juicy lemons and oranges.
It is these foods that make us think of energy and vitality, and of delicious, nutritious meals. Fresh fruit and vegetables are not only easy to prepare but they are also versatile. In The Walker’s Diet you can see how vegetables can be an integral part of a meal, playing a major role, rather than just being something added at the side of the plate. And the recipes can easily be adapted to include the fish, meat or vegetables which are available if any of the ingredients are out of season or you don’t like a particular food.
A well-balanced diet is the key to health, vitality and successful weight control. The Walker’s Diet takes this balanced, moderate approach to eating. The easiest way to eat healthily and lose weight naturally is to follow the guidelines of the Healthy Eating Pyramid which is recommended in the UK, in the USA and by the World Health Organisation. You can see which foods to eat more of and which to eat in smaller quantities. By eating more of the foods at the base of the Pyramid and less of the foods towards the top, you will enjoy a healthier diet and increased energy and vitality.
When following The Walker’s Diet, sometimes you may prefer to have the Main Meal at lunch time and at other times in the evening. The meals are designed to fit in with your own lifestyle and many of the Light Meals are suitable to be packed in a lunch box for you to take to work. The recipes are suitable for all the family and can be followed if you are entertaining friends.
Following The Walker’s Diet, you will see how easy it is to make a balanced, nutritious diet part of your daily life and part of a long term solution to health, fitness and vitality. Check out each food group in turn:
