Neglecting fruits and vegetables
If you're the type of person who prefers to sit down and devour a plate of pasta without a touch of color from vegetables or healthy tomato-based sauces, you're in for trouble. It's better to bulk up your dishes with a variety of vegetables and a little protein, in order to limit your starchy carb intake. Not to mention the fiber content goes up, which not only improves digestion but also leaves you feeling fuller faster. You should be consuming fruits throughout the day as well, to meet your daily quota of essential vitamins and minerals.
