Five main food groups from where you can get all the necessary nutrients.

The five main food groups from where you can get all the necessary nutrients are:

• Fruits
• Vegetables
• Cereals and pulses
• Dairy products
• Poultry, fish and meat.

Your aim should be to consume a variety of foods that fall under each group by rotating them on a daily basis. The more close to nature you remain the better it is for gradual weight loss and optimal health. Eat foods in their original form and cook them in healthy mediums like butter and virgin oils. The basic mantra is to avoid temptations of over eating. Even when you plan to eat out, try to avoid buffets, which normally tempt you to eat more due to the wide variety of food items displayed. Natural weight loss supplements can be used to supplement your efforts.
