The Healthy Eating Pyramid

The Healthy Eating Pyramid – one of the best and easiest ways of weight management.

A quick image search on Google for “food pyramid” brings back over a million results. The idea of a food pyramid is to make it easier for you to choose the right foods to achieve and maintain good health. But with so many different versions how are you supposed to make the right choices?

This revised food pyramid developed by the Harvard School of Public Health and also known as the Healthy Food Pyramid or Harvard Food Pyramid, is together with the Mediterranean Food Pyramid one of the best and easiest of the food pyramids to understand and use.

It's a great updated nutrition guide, aiming to include the latest scientific research in dietary health.

What’s good about this food pyramid is that it doesn’t advice you so much about food pyramid serving sizes as to what foods you should prefer.

Instead it advices you to choose more foods from the bottom (vegetables, whole grains) and less form the top (red meat, refined grains), the exact amount of calories, of course, depending on your sex, age, and lifestyle.

At the base is exercise and weight control, meaning that it will be difficult for you to achieve and maintain a healthy body without at least a moderate amount of exercise.


If you want a weight management program to follow, but find that most programs promise more than they can keep, I recommend you stick to the information in this book. It gives you all you need to know, with the information right from the source:
