Weight Loss & the Food Pyramid
The Food Pyramid can help simplify weight loss as well as weight management by providing recommendations based on foods that promote a healthy body. Put simply: A healthy diet equals a healthy body.
A dieter should always make an effort to consume at least the MINIMAL Food Pyramid recommendations to ensure safe weight loss.
We note however, that the Official USDA Food Pyramid has evolved over the years. In simple terms, the Food Pyramid is not set in stone and is continually updated to reflect proven studies and data which increase the overall level of health. Even so, it is the best pattern for a healthy diet that currently exists.
How many servings for each Food Group in the Food Pyramid?
Milk, Yogurt & Cheese Food Group: 2-3 Servings
Vegetable Food Group: 3-5 Servings
Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs & Nuts Group: 2-3 Servings
Fruit Group: 2 - 4 Servings
Bread, Cereal, Rice & Pasta Group: 6-11 Servings
Fats, Oils & Sweets - Use Sparingly
