Hi there
user
Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I want to eat healthier, but I'm not sure where to start. What's the most important thing to focus on?
user
Great goal! Focusing on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is a good starting point. Try to limit processed and sugary foods.
assistant
That makes sense. How does eating a lot of sugar affect my health?
user
Consuming too much sugar can lead to weight gain, increased risk of diabetes, and energy crashes. It's recommended to limit daily sugar intake to less than 10% of your total calories.
assistant
Okay, I'll try to cut back on sugar. What's a healthy alternative to sugary snacks?
user
Fresh fruits, nuts, and carrot sticks with hummus are all great alternatives to sugary snacks. They're nutritious and can satisfy your cravings for something sweet or crunchy.
