Go to www.fitday.com They have loads to offer and the basics are free. Just spend a few days putting in the foods you eat in the day and you will soon start to notice ways to improve that. _________________

Hi Hopeful:
There are two "diets" that I know of that are really balanced. One is the Weight Watchers diet and the other is the good old diabetes diet.
I always thought I had a really balanced diet until I developed diabetes and then when I learned about how to use all the food groups to keep my blood sugar level, my eyes were opened. www.diabetes.org has a whole lot of information on their website about diet -- the most important for me was portion size. For example, on a normal dinner plate, 1/3 protein, 1/3 veggie, 1/3 starch. Anyway, once I got it under control I had a whole lot more energy and stamina and felt better in general.
From what I can tell, Weight Watchers is similar. But, learn to read labels because sometimes things that are "low fat" or "low carb" end up being high salt or high fat or high sugar to compensate -- so stick with REAL food.
Hope that helps.
Roberta

Hi Heather-
I'm not sure how much you already know, so I'll try to highlight the things I consider most important. The USDA food guide suggests eating the following amounts of foods at the 2000 calorie level each day:
Fruit - 2 cups (4 servings)
1/2 cup equivalent is:
1/2 cup fresh, frozen, or canned fruit
1 medium piece of fruit
1/4 cup dried fruit
1/2 cup fruit juice
Vegetable - 2.5 cups (5 servings)
1/2 cup equivalent is:
1/2 cup cut-up raw or cooked vegetable
1 cup raw leafy vegetable
1/2 cup vegetable juice
Grain - 6 ounce-equivalents
1 ounce-equivalent is:
1 slice bread
1 cup dry cereal
1/2 cup cooked rice, pasta, cereal
Meat and Beans - 5.5 ounce-equivalents
1 ounce-equivalent is:
1 ounce cooked lean meats, poultry, fish
1 egg
1/4 cup cooked dry beans or tofu
1 Tbls peanut butter
1/2 ounce nuts or seeds
Milk - 3 cups
1 cup equivalent is:
1 cup low-fat/fat-free milk, yogurt
1.5 ounces low-fat/fat-free natural cheese
2 ounces low-fat/fat-free processed cheese
You can go to www.bcm.edu/cnrc/caloriesneed.htm to find out how many calories you need to maintain your weight and adjust the above accordingly.
In general, we all could use more fruits and vegetables. Try to get a wide variety to ensure you're receiving all the nutrients you need.
Whole-grains have not been as broken down and are still full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Make sure you check the ingredient list; "whole" or "whole grain" should appear before the grain ingredient's name, and the whole grain should be the first ingredient.
When I go to the grocery store, I rarely have to go down any of the isles. You can get all the foods you need going around them.... produce, meats, dairy, breads. I occasionally sneak in to get canned or frozen vegetables, whole wheat pasta, tomato sauces, and cereals.
Basically, we want to eat foods that remember where they came from. Processing always reduces the amount of nutrients found naturally in foods. Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils are used in the food industry for the sole purpose of prolonging the shelf life of processed foods (to maximize profits). Studies link the consumption of these trans fatty acids to the development of diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Check ingredient lists for those oils, too, and avoid the foods containing them. (You'll be surprised how many do!)
When we feel hungry, we have to try to avoid feeding ourselves "empty calories" (foods with no nutritional benefit). Have you ever eaten breakfast at McDonald's and found yourself starving 3 hours later? Our bodies are still craving the nutrients they need in the hopes that we'll feed it right.
I hope that helps. If there's anything else you're wondering about, let me know. I'll do my best to try to figure it out with you.

Hi Heather, I'm on Weight Watchers but I suggest you check out Dr. Phil's book too. It's excellent. Kerry |

Heather,
IF you're looking for something a little different, you can also go to www.allexperts.com It's a forum where people volunteer their time to answer questions you may have on myriad topics. I'm a volunteer for music songwriting and theory. I've also asked people who are nutritionists on the page and got some good, no nonsense advice. Try it out. People with PhD.'s sign up to volunteer. It's a pretty neat thing.

WOW, our membership is just full of knowledgeable folks. Amy, thanks for the nutritional guidelines you posted. I printed them out and they are now on our fridge. Also, while reading your post, it occurred to me that I seldom shop the aisles these days either. Since I began watching what I eat, most everything I purchase is on the outer perimeters of the super market.
Nita, what a neat thing to do; volunteer your time to share your expertise. I intend to check out that website.
Melody, I've been using fitday.com for almost a month now and really have learned a lot.
Roberta, I checked out the diabetes site also and put it in my "favorites" for use later.
Thanks everyone. It's sure nice to know such intelligent and helpful folks. _________________
