Plant-Based Dietician's Food Guide Pyramid
By: Julieanna Hever, M.S., R.D., C.P.T. www.PlantBasedDietitian.com
Whatever we are accustomed to eating seems safer, and it can feel threatening to admit that it may have been causing us pain. Making changes usually seems hard initially. After all, we have been trained by many trusted advisors to eat meat & dairy, to pour olive oil all over everything. All that well-meant advice though, may have been based mostly on industry marketing, preferences & beliefs than fact.
This plant-based pyramid represents the official position paper for the American Dietetic Association for registered dietitians which is the largest professional association for RDs in the world. Thanks to many years of research on diet & health, they advise us to eat a varied diet of whole plant foods as the best way to
maintain our energy & weight, while also reducing our risk of developing cancer, heart disease & type 2 diabetes.
