Your ScoresDid you score 0-4 points?
You are obviously a fitness-conscious person and your minor discretions are unlikely to affect you. Provided you supplement your diet with the right vitamins and minerals you can look forward to a long and healthy life.
Did you score 5-9 points?
You are on the right track, but must be a little stricter with yourself. Rather than giving up your bad habits, set yourself easy experiments. For instance, for one month go without 2 or 3 of the foods and drink you know are not good for you. See how you feel. Some you may decide to have occasionally, while others you may find you go off. But be strict for one month – your cravings will only be short term withdrawal symptoms. Aim to have your score below 5 within three months.
Did you score 10-14 points?
Your diet is not good and you will need to make some changes to be able to reach optimum health, but take it one step at a time. You should aim to have your score down to 5 within 6 months. You will find that some of your bad dietary habits will change for the better as you discover tasty alternatives. The bad habits than remain should be dealt with one at a time. Remember that sugar, salt, coffee and chocolate are all addictive foods. Your cravings for them will dramatically decrease or go away altogether after one month without them.
Did you score 15-20 points?
There is no way you can continue to eat like this and remain well. You are consuming far too much fat, refined foods and artificial stimulants. You should make gradual and permanent changes to your lifestyle. For instance, take 2 questions that you could answer “no” (one example would be to stop eating sugar and drinking coffee in the first month) Keep doing this until your score is 5 or less. You may feel worse for the first two weeks, but within a month you will begin to feel the effects of healthier eating.
