Standard American Diet

The Standard American Diet (SAD) is characterized by:

1. High intake of processed foods and fast foods.
2. Large portions of red meat and poultry.
3. Liberal saturated fat and cholesterol intake
4. Refined grains (white bread, pasta, rice).
5. Added sugars, especially in beverages.
6. High-fat dairy products.
7. Relatively low consumption of fruits and vegetables.
8. Frequent snacking on high-calorie, low-nutrient foods.
9. High sodium content.

This diet tends to be energy-dense but nutrient-poor, often leading to excessive calorie intake while lacking essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre. It's associated with various health issues, including obesity, atherosclerosis, and type 2 diabetes.
