Previously, it included more vegetable protein than animal, more complex than simple carbohydrates, more animal than vegetable fats. Now prevail in the diet of fats, cholesterol, low complex carbohydrates, no fiber. About 40% of calories supplied with carbohydrates, of which at least 25% purified, and the rest - are complex. In other words, the majority of carbohydrate intake accounted for purified: sugar, white flour products, chocolate, soft drinks, candy, sugary cereals, prepared foods, etc. The source of small amounts of complex carbohydrates are consumed fruits and vegetables.
