Revamp Your Food Pyramid

Last year my kids came home with the food pyramid from school and we had an immediate talk about how that is not an accurate way to eat. Tuesday, my two oldest kids asked me about nutrition and my son pinned me down on what my food pyramid would look like. He was quizzing me and drawing it out. I liked it so much, I redid it for you. Now, if the thought of eating some fat is foreign to you, definitely check out the website address I put at the top of page 2 under Calories. The article will blow your mind. This is 2 pyramids in one.

Some of you are looking at this and going, “what the heck?”. This is how I see it. This is how I see healthier people eating and how I would structure a basic diet for someone with health problems or weight issues. What is one main problem with obesity in America?

People eat too much, right? The solution of the food industry is to spike the food with chemicals that make you crave more and rip out all the natural vitamins so your body craves even more food, or drowns the food in sugar to stimulate appetite = (always hungry). The medical and dietary community says “watch your diet!” “Eat fewer calories”. If you are stuck in those ruts read the webpage on calories on page 2. Here is the plain simple reason I want you to eat more protein and good fats. They make you feel FULL. They decrease your appetite. Natural and simple.

Even though it flies in the face of all you hear on T.V. Struggling for protein?—I use Whey Pro Complete everyday.
