Plate replaces the food pyramid

Quite a few nutritionists now design a person's diet portions using the plate as a measure.Slowly n the good pyramid is finding less and less buyers.When the diet plan is based on the plate , it becomes easy to under stand and follow .There is simply no confusion.It makes a lot pf practical sense
.

Recently , the Obama administration too announced that they will be ditching the good pyramid that represented healthy eating for over two decades in Favorited of a circular plate .The administration even has designed a new logo that consists of a plate with four colored sextons representing fruits , vegetable ,grains and protein.The  message is clear fill up half your plate with fruits and vegetables. Accompanying the plate in the logo is a small glass perhaps suggesting a milk or yoghurt. The plate also suggests other messages regarding healthy eating such as eat smaller portions and switch to low tat milk . Although it has begun in the US , the trend is expected to catch up soon across the world.
