Why Colour Is Important Many fatty and caloric foods, such as dairy products and startchy carbs, are beige or brown. When there are too many of these drab colours on your plate, weight gain is almost certain. Thats because these beige foods often are high in calories and can leave you feeling hungry later. A cup of beige or brown beans can be over 200 calories....but a cup of red or green vegetables is under a hundred! Add fresh greens, deep purple-reds and bright yellow-orange to a meal, and water the nutrient content go up, while calories go down! Plus, youll get more enjoyment from eating when theres a variety of colours and flavours on your plate. Although these ideas may sound whimsical, theyre grounded in scientific fact. Dr David Heber, renowned nutritional expert from UCLAs Centre for Human Nutrition established the role of colour in his book, What Color is Your Diet? So, next time you visit the refrigerator, think colourfully. And remember to mix, not match! |
