than coffee cake Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink which contains only a small percentage of real juice the rest is largely coloured sugar water You just can t compare the value of these foods the nutrient dense ones are so superior she emphasizes Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life it s the foundation of a healthful diet Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength they can be very harmful she says because nutrients aren t supplied in sufficient amounts or balance According to Morrissey trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses or making you superwoman is a fruitless search As women many of us are too concerned with staying thin she says and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food We need carbohydrates protein and fat they are like the wood in the fireplace The vitamins and minerals are like the match the spark for the fuel she explains We need them
