Diet & Health Articles

Do I more or eat less? There is so much confusion when it comes to diet, that we've decided to put forth some of the leading articles on the subject right on this page.

Leading experts will disagree on whether people need to go high-protein, balanced or high-carb diets in order to lose weight or remain trim and fit.

Government studies disagree as well. The U. S. government is pressured by different groups within the different food industries to endorse (or at least not throw under the bus) their particular industries. Since the government is reluctant to hurt any industries, a compromise is usually forthcoming that may not necessarily reflect the healthiest choices.

Old Food Pyramid

For instance, who can forget the famous Food Pyramid that the government has endorsed over the years? At the top are the unhealthy fats, oils and sweets that we should all eat very sparingly. But, on the bottom of the pyramid are the breads, cereal, rice and pasta group that we should all be eating 6 - 11 servings of every day. Now, McDonalds and Olive Garden may just love all the customers who buy into this, but if you've seen the movie "Super-Size Me" you'll know that the bottom of this pyramid may just send your health and diet to the bottom of the barrel as well. You can check out the new food pyramind on the nutrition health articles page for a more up-to-date look at what are government is now promoting.

We've put together some diet articles that are a little more wise than the old food pyramid and reflect today's thought on optimal diet. The articles may just conflict at some points about how people should achieve their health and diet goals, since there is more than one way to skin the proverbial cat in the field of diet and nutrition. Check out the diet articles to see how you can start eating healthier today.
