Now I see a reason for a well balanced diet. What we eat is food for our bacteria which then converts that food into what we need. Well balanced diet means well balanced bacteria.
The biggest reason for a well balanced diet is to ensure you get all the vitamins and micro-nutrients required for good health.
Loosing weight is another matter altogether. That is about eating less, and eating less is about avoiding foods that cause you to eat more. Its all psychological, with the realisation of course that psychology is heavily influenced by food.

The bacteria produce some of the important vitamins.
