Here’s How People “Diet” in Other Countries.

The Atlantic reports that Brazil has recently released a new food guide that encourages eating less processed foods and more traditional meals. The guide recommends traditional Brazilian meals that feature foods like beans, corn, and rice.

According to Brazil.org, fruits like mangoes and papayas, vegetables like carrots and celery, and beef, pork, or fish usually accompany rice and beans. 

The Atlantic also reports that Brazilians are encouraged by the government to use less oil and condiments, as well as eat slower and in groups. In fact, eating slowly and with others has been found to cause you to eat less and more mindfully. Many condiments on the other hand are sneaky sources of calories, sodium, and added sugar, according to HuffPost.
