Here's the second question of the Q&A series about shaping up your plate! Find out if MyPlate is just a typical fad diet bound for failure, or something doable and obtainable to meet your optimum health!
Q. There are so many different diets, is this new MyPlate diet easy to follow or is this just the newest fad?
A. The new MyPlate food icon is neither a fad nor a diet. The MyPlate food icon was designed as a visual reminder to help the public make healthy food choices as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. In addition to the MyPlate icon and general information about the food groups, there are many interactive tools on the ChooseMyPlate.gov website that are designed to help Americans move towards better overall health. The website tools help you to set goals for healthy choices, calculate the number of calories that's right for you, choose sample meal plans for good health, and track your meals and physical activity.
