It is important that the majority of food is from the first and second categories, in the third category a healthy restriction is necessary, and the fourth category is kept aside as much as possible. We have to learn how to arrange our food and how certain foods from the fourth category (baked white potatoes) replace with food from the first category (sweet potatoes).
