A Balanced Diet Chart Based on Color



This 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.
