The new healthy eating plate was released by the Harvard school of Public Health recently and it endeavours to show you a quick and easy guide into how each meal should be planned. The general healthy eating guide is 1/2 Vegetable(including a small amount of fruit) 1/4 whole grains and 1/4 protein. It also advises to limit red meat and avoid bacon, cold cuts and other processed meats and replacing unhealthy saturated fat with healthier unsaturated vegetable oils. Also not making a huge showing is Milk and dairy, in which you are also advised to limit... Interesting stuff huh! I have been trying to follow this general plate rule since becoming a vegan (thanks to the
Kind diet) and find that it is so much easier to have a guide to go by.
Following you will see the new healthy eating pyramid as well as the age old eating pyramid. Noticing the changes that are being observed and recommended by such high nutritional authorities makes me pretty happy that people are starting to realise that animal and animal bi products are not necessary! All awareness is success!

Nothing can replace water for me, I would prefer all drinks would be gone except for water. Daily exercise and weight control, I am grateful it is now included as they are also important.
