Help Maria describe her healthy eating journey by choosing the correct word for each gap.

Last month I decided to follow a balanced diet. Now I always have a nutritious breakfast and try to cut down on sugar throughout the day.

Last month I decided to follow a balanced diet.

"Follow a diet" is the standard collocation for adhering to a specific eating plan.

Now I always have a nutritious breakfast.

"Have breakfast" is the most common and natural collocation for eating the morning meal.

And try to cut down on sugar throughout the day.

"Cut down on" is the perfect phrasal verb collocation meaning to reduce consumption of something.
