A Balanced Diet Chart Based on Color
balanced-diet-chartThis balanced diet
chart which is based on the color of foods was taken
from information in the book by Ian K. smith called
" EAT:
The Effortless Weight Loss Solution ." I
love all the
charts in this book. It makes eating healthy so much easier.
Besides this list of foods that lead to a healty balanced diet, there
are other charts and lists in the book that tell you which foods to
eat, which foods to not eat, and how much to eat. There are charts that
divide carbs into good carbs and bad carbs, whole grains and not such
whole grains, charts that show good proteins and bad proteins.
