Make half of your grains whole.
Make half of your grains whole. Choose wholegrain
foods such as whole-wheat bread, oatmeal, brown rice,
and low-fat popcorn more often.
Vary your veggies.
Go dark green and orange with
your vegetables – eat spinach, broccoli, carrots, and sweet
potatoes.
Focus on fruits.
Eat them at meals and at snack time.
Choose fresh, frozen, canned, or dried and go easy on the
fruit juice.
Go lean with protein.
Eat lean or low-fat meat, chicken,
turkey, and fish. Add chick peas, nuts or seeds to a salad,
pinto beans to a burrito, or kidney beans to soup.
Change your oil.
We all need oil. Get yours from fish,
nuts, and liquid oils such as corn, soybean, canola, and
olive oil.
Don’t sugarcoat it.
Choose foods and beverages that
do not have sugar and calorie sweeteners as one of the
first ingredients
