Just ran across an article for the Bread for Life Diet in the current issue of Women's World magazine and thought I would post it for a chuckle. Daily you get:
6 servings of starch (preferrably 2 slices of 'light bread')
6 oz of protein foods (meat, eggs, cheese)
6 servings of vegetables (salad or soup)
6 servings of fat (preferrably reduced fat mayo and such)
You're also allowed 1 piece of fruit and 1 glass of wine each day if you want it.
3-4 times a week you are permitted a "large" 3 oz portion of meat.
I'm sorry, but how is this radically different from the good old government's food pyramid? I mean a sandwich made with 2 slices of light bread, 1 oz
of meat, and a schmear of light mayo plus a handful of veggies does not make a meal... it's starvation. Don't ya think?
