THE 3-WEEK DIET
Many of us are paralyzed by the conflicting information being given out in the health and nutrition field. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of diets and nutritional plans, quick fix pills and powders, gadgets and gizmos, infomercials and gurus who are all giving us confusing and very often, conflicting information on how to lose weight.

<strong>THE</strong> FOOD PYRAMID AND OBESITY<br />
Now, the last thing I could ever be called is a “conspiracy theorist” but you might think otherwise<br />
after reading what I have to say about the USDA Food Pyramid. I’m certainly not trying to turn<br />
this diet into a political debate, but the fact is, the USDA plays an important roll in the economy<br />
of our country. And what goes into the food pyramid will, in turn, dictate how much money we<br />
spend on certain food products.<br />
Take a look at the USDA Food Pyramid that has shaped the way most American eat over the past<br />
few decades. As you can see, our own government recommends we get over 2/3 of our daily nutrition<br />
from carbohydrate laden foods (bread, rice, pasta, fruits and vegetables) and only about 20%<br />
of our food from protein sources—the primary nutrient that keeps us alive! It’s no wonder that<br />
nearly 50% of the US population is considered to be overweight!<br />
