lots of great info on the Pyramid tool website

Following the Weight Watchers® plan for a long time has educated me on the my daily diet requirements of the different food groups, as well as the role fat, fiber and calories play in maintaining a healthy balance. They also talk a great deal about “good fats” from olive oil, flax, nuts and canola oil. I consume Kashi brand foods for their nutritional value. The Kashi foods all have whole grains, high fiber, low fat and moderate calorie content, good oils (or nuts) plus, I really enjoy the taste! They are part of my daily diet, and have me reach my Lifetime WW goal. As a positive bonus, my total cholesterol has dropped to a healthy 140, and my doctor is very impressed.

I have diabetes 2 so I have to write down all I eat and Put how much cal, fat, carbs, protein for each food I eat. I then show it to may doctor and she either says good or shakes her finger at me. I also have to loose weight to get it under control. It is a pain

I’m not even eating the daily recommended servings and I thought I was! My caloric intake is less than the recommended, but my fats are off the CHARTS. It’s no wonder I’m overweight!

Time to hit the gym. So seriously.

Im a runner so I need to eat a good amount of fat to keep my body going. All of the fat I eat everyday comes from either nuts like walnuts,and almonds or from extra virgin olive oil. Flaxseed and hemp are good sources of fat also. Sunflower seeds also have a bunch of good fat in them.

I have been very successful in this area. I have high cholesterol and my niece the nurse practitioner keeps a close watch on my fat intake. She always wants to know what foods I eat and how I prepare them. I have learned that I can actually survive without fried foods every meal, and don’t have to always eat beef. Actually baking, broiling, or grilling has more flavor than frying, or at least it does to me. And I use canola oil or virgin olive oil when I do fry. Even my husband like it! And I was raised on fried foods. My parents were old style and that was the only way they knew how to cook. But I have overcome!

the website it kindof confusing and i did not like that the brands to choose from were limited when adding ones food for the day. once i entered everything as accuratley as i could, it was pretty interesing

My wife makes our cake from a mix adding only water, no eggs or oil. The cake is very moist and tasty. It is much better than directions on the box.

My daughter is in college and taking nursing classes – she has a health class and we both were shocked to learn that a typical bagel is enough/made for 2 people !! I only spread butter or cream cheese on one side…eat it whole.. does that still count for one?? LoL

I’ve been trying to cut back on saturated and trans fats but I am a definite cookie lover and their is almost always junk food in my house so I have been practicing my will power. Some days it turns out a lot better then others.

I was on a diet and eating next to no fat… everything was fat free, and I realized it was full of chemicals! I started eating the real things in moderation and haven’t gained a pound, and feel much better and less run-down….

i have already began cutting back on saturated and trans fat because my husband is a diabetic and i have to watch what he eats. so rather than do two different meals, i eat what he eats which is chicken & fish, and i use virgin olive oil or canola oil if i need to use oil at all. i bake and broil alot.

for my health class we had to calculate our mypyramids for a project

I have cut back on eating fatty foods. I am aware that I need to get moving more to balance my sit down desk job. And the first step will be to cut out candy

Today I’m goin to eat a fruit and chicken salad from Fazolis!!! It has about 200 calories and is low in fat…
