Introducing the Food Pyramid
by portion. We thought you might enjoy
an illustration of the food pyramid by allowable amounts
rather than number of serving. Certainly, the majority
of diets promote eating plenty of vegetables! (Isn't that
mom told us?).
So think GREEN and be lean!
It really doesn't take much to eat 1600 calories! And
if you are trying to eat less you really have to measure
your portions. Of course you can always eat more Vegetables!
To help you track your daily diet we have created a little
Food Journal (and cover) that you can print out.
Send us your diet tips and successes to share with our
international community of lemons lovers! Do you have
a site that you would like to suggest? Contact our editor@lemonflower.com
