It¡¯s been awhile since the new food pyramid was published in
Newsweek but it¡¯s totally different than the old one. The old one
put
processed and high glycemic carbs like pasta and white bread and
cereal on
the bottom but the new one has revised it to be on top. As you know
the
bottom is what you eat the most of and the top is what you¡¯re
supposed to
eat the least of.
Anyways, the new pyramid advised 2-3 servings of fruit, 3-5 servings
of
whole wheat, good carbs like brown rice, and lots of veggies... Also
it
separates red meat with chicken and fish and eggs. The worst things
to eat
are butter, processed carbs, simple sugars, and red meat. You gotta
check
it out. This link shows the new food pyramid compared with the old

good sites

diet are
