Editorial Review:
Product DescriptionA registered dietitian, nutrition consultant, and health teacher, Pat Baird explains the USDA Food Guide Pyramid that represents the five food groups included in the U.S. Dietary Guidelines for a healthy diet. Baird defines exactly what comprises a serving of each food group and how to make the Pyramid work whether eating at home or at a restaurant.
Rating: - A good place to start for healthy eating
I have been working to get to a healthy weight, and I have found that the way that works best for me is to use the Food Pyramid. It's simple, straightforward, and always healthy. This book really helped me convert the recommendations of the Food Pyramid into a daily routine. The discussion of the Pyramid was what I found most valuable (I refer back to it frequently), but I have made some of the recipes and enjoyed them a great deal as well. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to be healthy and a normal weight, without the fads and yoyo dieting that only make weight problems worse. I've lost 25 pounds so far eating a low-fat regime following the Pyramid, and regular exercise.
