AGHE Diet

Last week I just submitted my first assignment for the subject of nutrition communication and food studies which is due on 3/4/09. In this assignment, we have to observe 2 weeks of our diet history where first week is our usual diet while second week have to follow Australian Guide to Healthy Eating (AGHE) diet.

During these two weeks, I am having difficulties to record all of my diet history because most of the preparations of the meal are not accurately measured or weight and have to estimate the amount. Plus, sometimes the foods are not prepared by my self.

As the second week, I have to follow the AGHE diet but I cannot follow because the amount for the bread, cereals, pasta, noodles and rice category are very high to meet the requirement.

Although following the AGHE diet people can have a balance diet from the 5 categories of foods including carbohydrates, dairy products, fruits, vegetables and proteins sources of food such as lean meat, fish, legumes and etc but when I was trying to follow it, this was to difficult to meet all the requirements. Physiologically I felt that the AGHE diet can maintained the satiety throughout the whole day due to the portion of serving size.

Overall this diet was hard to meet the requirement as I tried it by myself, imagined that the government keep stressed on have to follow the AGHE diet in ordered to have a balance diet. What are the suggestions on how to follow the AGHE diet if you are to tell the public???
