Suggestions from the text:	Cut down on desserts and cut out sweet drinks. Keep a balance by consuming different categories of foods, including fresh fruit and vegetables, rather than processed foods, and some beans, meat, or dairy products. Eat slowly. Eat a modest amount of food each time and form consistent eating habits. Have a healthy attitude towards food.
Facts about diet and nutrition:	Sugar is a killer of health. Much of the extra sugar come from sweets and sweet drinks. Fruit and vegetables are full of vitamins and fiber needed for health.

It takes about twenty minutes from the time you start eating for your brain to tell that you are full.
My good habits:	Taking three meals at the same time each day. Seldom having sweet drinks. Eating fruit and vegetables every day.
My bad habits:	Having processed foods sometimes. Eating too fast. Eating too much sometimes in one meal.
Ways to improve eating habits:	Cut down on processed foods and have more fresh foods. Eat slowly and enjoy the food. Eat a modest amount of food each time. As with everything in life, moderation is key. Say no to sweets and reduce snacks.

One possible version
Overall, I think have healthy eating habits. As for the things I am doing right, I having a balanced diet and trying to eat fresh food as much as possible.
After noting down what I have eaten over the last three days, I can see lots of nutritious and healthy foods on the list, such as fish, meat, eggs, fruit, and vegetables, which contain much nutrition, providing fiber, vitamins, protein, and minerals necessary for health.
However, I do have some bad eating habits. For example, I sometimes eat too much rice and bread. One may put on weight easily if consumed more than enough. Besides, after taking sports I drink a lot of soft drinks high in sugar. I must say no to sweets. Lastly, I have a preference for Xuanwei ham, a delicious processed pork, which is high in salt and fat. Now I am determined never to take a bite of ham.
After reading the article entitled “Healthy Eating”, I now better understand how to eat more healthily and improve my food choices. After all, healthy eating starts with a healthy attitude.
