There are many good websites that give people practical tips for quick and healthy weight loss, possibly in combination with a diet or life style change. The better sites such as  also state that losing weight will only be permanent if you also eat healthier. This will be done on this website also always commented that effects are only permanent if you eat healthy. In this article you will read how you can eat healthier so that weight loss is not for nothing. This article is a summary, if you want more details then you can read our floor about healthy nutrition. For this we have set up a special blog section.

What is the disk of five?
The disc of five consists of the following 5 discs from which you have to eat a certain amount every day in order to get the necessary nutrients:

Disc 1. Vegetable and fruit
By eating enough vegetables and fruit, the risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced. This is also good for your blood pressure and they contain relatively few calories. Furthermore, vegetables and fruit provide a feeling of satisfaction because the products often contain a relatively large amount of fiber. They also contain many vitamins .

Disc 2. Bread, potatoes, rice and pasta
The 2 nd drive provides you with important nutrients such as carbohydrates and proteins. Important for the energy balance and bowel movements. Also important because these products give you a feeling of satisfaction. Less hunger means less risk of dangerous snack behavior.

Disc 3. Dairy, meat and fish (or substitutes)
This disk is an important supplier of proteins. The proteins are important because they act as a building material for your body. These products are also good for bone formation and prevent anemia and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Disc 4. Greases and oil
With fats and oil we mean those products with which we spread our bread and prepare our food (butter, low-fat margarine and wok oil). In addition to vitamins, these products contain fatty acids that are essential because our body can not produce them themselves. For the fats, you should eat as little saturated fat as possible, instead opt for liquid.

Disc 5. Water
Water and other drinks such as coffee, tea and fruit drinks are necessary for a good moisture balance. We lose moisture every day, which we have to replenish so that our body can transport nutrients in our body and can dispose of waste. Furthermore, moisture is important for your body temperature.

How much do I have to eat from the different disks?
Starting from a 30 year old woman you should eat the following:

2 pieces of fruit (200 gr) and 4 serving spoons of vegetables (200 gr)
4 serving spoons of rice or potatoes (200gr) 6 slices of bread (210gr)
1.5 slices of cheese (30 g), 450 ml of milk products, 125 g of meat, fish eggs or substitutes
1 tablespoon of oil or fry and roasts, further 30 g of low-fat margarine (5 g per slice of bread) `
1.5 to 2 liters of water.
Men usually need something more. Variation in your diet is very important. Do not always eat the same fruit but try to vary.

The disk of four
On this website we also sometimes talk about the disk of four. For example in the article about the diet . The only difference is that the disk of five 'water' typifies as a separate disk.
