I am just going to come straight out and say it. I believe the food pyramid as we know it is wrong. I believe that it is not just slightly wrong, I believe it is way out of wack for what should be considered wholesome eating.
As it currently stands, you can find discrete definitions of how the food pyramid should look just by doing a straightforward Google search.Nutrition Australia's food pyramid shows us that we should be eating mostly vegetables, dried peas, lentils, cereal, bread, fruit and nuts.
The Food Pyramid
We should be eating lean meat, eggs, fish, chicken (without skin), milk, yoghurt and cheese moderately. Ultimately in small amounts we should be eating oil, margarine, reduced fat spreads, butter and sugar.
Wow. No wonder why are waist lines are continuously expanding.
That is extraordinary that a recognised authority organisation can advise that habitancy should be eating some of this rubbish.
Don't just think that food Australia is the only organisation pedalling this line. They were the best of a bad bunch. At least they verily had vegetables, fruits and buts on the lowest of the pyramid. Every other organisation recommends that breads and cereals be on the most consumed list.
You may think I am joking. Unfortunately, I am deadly serious my friend. Pun intended, as that is what habitancy are gradually doing to themselves by following these recommendations every day. You are just digging your way to an early grave.
So, how should the revitalised, new look, food pyramid line up?
First of all, the foods that we should be eating the most comprise of vegetables first and foremost, followed by lentils, fruits and nuts.
Next group on the pyramid are the foods that we should be eating moderately. These are made up meat or meat alternatives just like fish, chicken, eggs to name three examples. Limit your red meat intake.
The foods that we should eat sparingly comprise dairy products like butter, milk and yoghurt and grains like pasta and rice. I would advise once a day at most for habitancy seeing to lose body fat.
No, you do not need dairy to provide you with calcium. That is what the marketing from the food and dairy organisations would like you to believe but you will get sufficient calcium from canned fish like salmon (eat the bones), nuts, fruits, vegetables (especially leafy greens), and dried beans.
The foods that should be at the top of the pyramid comprise the foods that we should only be eating as part of a cheat meal occasionally. These would comprise foods that are extremely processed such as breads, sweets or fast foods.
Yes, I comprise breads in this bad group. That is how detrimental it is to achieving your greatest fat loss results. Bread is processed. It does not grow in the ground, or on a vine or a tree like vegetables, nuts or fruits do. It is extremely processed rubbish that is holding you from burning your body fat.
I also do not comprise sugar, morning meal cereals, reduced fat spreads or margarine. These Trans Fat containing foods are causing your waist line to develop each and every single day.
Sugar does not have Trans Fat but it is a whole poison on its own. There is sufficient natural sugar in fruits to keep you without adding it to every coffee you drink or overdosing on processed, sugar soaked sweets or morning meal cereals.
In wrapping up, it may seem controversial but if you corollary the recommendations I have listed here instead of what the recognised food authorities are preaching to you, I am extremely inevitable that you will be seeing sensational and enjoying the body fat that you are shedding at a rate like never before.
Be a pioneer, convert your own personal food pyramid and enjoy the increased fat loss results that you will soon be experiencing. What have you got to lose except the extra body fat?
