MyPyramid follows the eating pattern that was developed by the
National Institutes of Health, and is known as the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension).
This
eating plan is rich in fruits, vegetables, low fat or
nonfat dairy, and includes lean meats,
fish and poultry; grains, nuts and beans. It will help lower blood pressure and cholesterol and
supports healthy weight loss. It is
flexible enough to meet the lifestyle and food preferences of
most people. And it is specifically recommended in the
2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
For a 2000 calorie diet, MyPyramid recommends 2 1/2 cups
vegetables, 2 cups of fruit, 3 servings of dairy, and 3 oz of whole grains. Many people find it challenging to
have enough of these especially healthy foods. This book was designed to make it
understandable and practical to incorporate this healthy way of eating. It was written by a
dietitian who is experienced in helping people make sustainable changes in
how they eat. And our
readers agree. Read the
table of contents for more details about
this book.
This book provides practical, real life solutions. It goes beyond "what" is involved with
the DASH diet; it also shows you "how to. . ."

restaurants (even with some fast food).
