I have tried many diet strategies in my life. (Not all the kind meant for weight loss)
I've done everything from raw foods only, vegetarianism, high carb low fat etc.
I always found that I felt something was missing, especially on the government recommended food pyramid.
Now the USDA food pyramid recommends 15% protein, 25% fats and 60% carbohydrates .
I came across anther food pyramid that illustrates why people who follow the USDA pyramid are getting fatter and fatter.
The feed lot pyramid is used as a guideline to fatten up livestock for slaughter.
It looks like this: 14% protein, 25% fats, 61% carbohydrates.
Is it any wonder Americans look like heifers and sows?
