I grew up in the days of the food pyramid. It didn’t mean much to me then.
I am thankful for the fresh perspective of “My Plate….”
I find it takes some real planning to have a full plate!
I find “My Plate” is a reminder to me of planning and balance…
It is a good picture to have hanging at my desk as I work through my cravings…
It is a good picture to have on my fridge when I am feeling rushed and tempted to grab something and go…
It is a good picture to have when I plan my meals out…
I would encourage you to print a picture of “My Plate” and allow it to inspire you. Remember beyond the Vegetables and Protein, the Dairy Grains and Fruit is a healthier you (and me)….
