Look back into your answers. How much food from this RED group do you eat? And how often?

Next group is yellow and means BE CAREFUL – you can eat this food but not a lot of it. Here you can find diary product,
chicken, fish, fruit. And what about your answers? How much fruit do you eat?

The last group is green GO – You can eat how much you want. Vegetables belong in this group. How many vegetables
do you eat?

Make plans. Tell your partner what you are going to change in your diet. Use sentences:

“From now on I will eat more/less ________________ because ________________ I won’t eat any
_________________ because ____________________.”
