The Food Pyramid, Weight Loss & Your Diet & Our Free 'Food Pyramid Diet Planner' Link

The food pyramid (picture of food pyramid located to your left) is a very important piece of solving Your Diet Puzzle because:

The Food Pyramid incorporates all the foods necessary for optimum health to ensure that your body's needs are nutritionally met.

The Food Pyramid consists of key food groups, making your diet planning a breeze.

The Food Pyramid provides the number of servings generally needed per day in your diet - as well as  the serving sizes.

The Food Pyramid is among the most simple and easier Diet Tools. Basically, the dieter counts the servings, sticks to the serving sizes, incorporates a bit of exercise and wa-la!  Weight loss almost guaranteed.

Food Pyramid Recommendations:

Fats, Oils & Sweets: Use sparingly.

Dairy:(Milk, Yogurt, Cheese) - 2 to 3 servings per day.

Vegetables: 3 to 5 servings per day.

Proteins: (Beef, fish, lamb, beans, eggs, chicken) 2 to 3 servings per day.

Fruits: 6 to 11 servings per day.

Grains: (Bread, cereal, brown rice, pasta) 6 to 11 servings per day. 

Another aspect in viewing the Food Pyramid's recommendations involves food interaction. To simplify, think about your car. Your start the car using a key (food), but without oil, water and gas, the car won't work properly and you'll soon experience engine problems - if you can get your engine stated at all!

Our bodies work along those same lines, only a 'twist' is added. The twist is this:

Some foods spin off of other foods and when combined, the dieter will reap maximum benefits.  It's a little diet trick called 'food combining'.
