Which statement is NOT a recommended nutrition practice?

• A. Eat only meat with no vegetables.
• B. Get nutritious foods.
• C. Limit sugar.
• D. Avoid all fats.

Answer: (A)

Focusing on balanced, nutrient-dense eating helps the body get the vitamins, minerals, fiber, and healthy fats it needs to function well. The statement that is not a recommended nutrition practice is eating only meat with no vegetables. A meat-only approach misses vegetables, which provide fiber and essential micronutrients that support digestion, immunity, and overall health. Without that variety, you’re more prone to nutrient gaps and gut health issues, and depending on the meat choices, you may also encounter higher saturated fat and cholesterol intake.

On the other hand, getting nutritious foods supports the body's needs, and limiting added sugars helps reduce risks like weight gain and dental problems. It’s also better to include fats in moderation and choose healthier fats rather than avoiding all fats entirely, since some fats are essential for health.
