Brunei: PCMF weight management clinic & the importance of a balanced diet
Balanced diet
A healthy balance diet is important to maintain good health and can help you feels your best. It also protects you against many chronic noncommunicable diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer.

3. Dairy fibre starchy food, for example potatoes, bread, rice and pasta
4. Eat beans, pulses, fish, eggs, meat and other protein
5. Unsaturated oils and spreads

Understanding calories
When we eat and drink more calories than we use up, our bodies store the excess as body fat and may put on weight if we continue.
An average man needs around 2,500 kcal a day to maintain a healthy body weight.
An average woman needs around 2,000 kcal a day to maintain a healthy body weight.
These values depend on age, size and levels of physical activity, among other factors.
To maintain a steady weight, the energy we put into our bodies must be the same as the energy we use though normal bodily functions and physical activity.
Being overweight
If you're overweight, losing weight has many health benefits. Making small, simple changes to what and how much you are eating, and drinking can really help you lose the pounds.
