Your score
If
you scored 18 or more ticks against the A's you are
doing really well with your diet.
A
score of 13-17 As means that you are not doing too
badly, but there is room for improvement.
If
you have a score of 12 or less A's and everything else
is B, you will need to follow the Healthy Eating Plant on
page 158 of 'The
Model Plan' and make a real effort to improve your
eating habits.
If
most of your scores were B's and C's your diet needs a complete
overhaul! Look on the positive side, because your diet
has been so bad, you are likely to experience a great sense
of well-being once you are through the withdrawal symptoms
and consuming much healthier options.
