The Best Revised Food Pyramid
Easiest tips on choosing the best revised food pyramid, easy to use, for lasting weight loss results.
If you’re looking for a revised food pyramids you’ll find many.
The food pyramid is not a final product. New discoveries in the field of health and medicine are made on a regular basis. And so the food pyramid changes as well.
We will most certain see different pyramids in the future.
What Is The Food Pyramid?
The idea of eating recommendation based on food groups goes far back but was first published in the form of a pyramid in Denmark in 1978 and then later adopted by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
Food was categories in groups such as carbohydrates, vegetables, fruit, dairy, oil, meat and poultry, grains and so on.
The difficulty comes when you’re to actually use the information given and starts comparing the pyramids.
As even the scientists argue about exact quantities from each food group, what the food groups are and how the information is best presented, how are we normal people supposed to use their information?
You don’t want to be a scientist to eat, do you?
Let’s try to stick to the basics.
An excellent food pyramid is the Healthy Eating Pyramid from 2005 by the Harvard School of Public Health. It has exercise and weight control at its base. From there on it give information on what types of food you should prefer.
The same goes for the Mediterranean Food Pyramid but with the difference that it’s based on the eating patterns of the Mediterranean. It also has exercise at its base.
“My Pyramid” (not My Food Pyramid) from MyPyramid.gov is a revised food pyramid that is tipped to its side which I find confusing.
Take a look at this picture of a food pyramid by ”My Pyramid”. How will this help you to a better life style?
What are the stripes and is exercise something you are supposed to “do on the side” and not as a basic part of your life?
A pyramid is built from the bottom and ends at the top, one of the things that made the idea of a food pyramid easy to adapt and understand.
My recommendation is that you don’t let yourself get confused by different weight loss food pyramids. Take in the information and use your common sense.
With you on the weigh,
