Diets

There are zillions books on diets, some good and some not so good. Before you embark on a diet, research the diet, seek medical help and speak to your doctor first.

How much food we need depends on many factors including age, sex, size, health condition, activity level and so on. On average, older adults and sedentary women requires about 1,600 calories per day. That is about 6 teaspoons of sugar. (That's right, 6 spoons of sugar contains all the energy we need. Children need more, around 2,200 calories. [reference]

Of course, we require more than just calories to remain healthy. We need a wide range of nutrients and the easiest way to have these nutrients is to eat a wide variety of food without unduly over the limit of the calorie requirement. Following the recommendation of the food pyramid. The base is the energy source, such as grains, bread with lots of vegetables and fruits, and some protein (which can be vegetable protein). We need fat sparingly and if we eat meat, the fat in the meat should be enough (since the favour of the meat lies mostly in the meat - why trim them off?)
