Brief importance of the components of diet:

Fats: energy requirement of body. they are found in fatty foods like ghee, oil, chees etc.

Proteins: It is required for growth and repair wear and tear of the body. Found in dairy products, sprouts, meat etc

Carbohydrates: Energy process supplied by carbohydrates. Found in rice, wheat, cereals, etc.

Minerals and Vitamins: Needed to improve body's resistance to disease.

Low-fat diets are been followed by lot of people as its the key to a healthy weight and good health.

High protein diet is having many advantages like more satiety, greater thermic effect, improved body consumption and lower carbohydrates also helps in having some weight loss if few people are interested.
