Healthy Eating Pyramid

The shape is the same, but this pyramid from Harvard Medical School makes some major changes to the inside of the structure.

The new pyramid recommends:

Sharply restricting red meat, potatoes and refined grains, such as white bread
Limiting dairy products to one or two servings a day
Replacing unhealthy saturated fat with healthier unsaturated vegetable oils
Consuming large amounts of whole grains, fruits and vegetables
Taking a daily multivitamin
Drinking limited amounts of alcohol
