The first thing that I do is ignore that Pyramid More experts are in agreement that the FDA’s food guide id flawed. Last I checked,they had flipped it around anyway. Now it’s important to remeber that the FDA is concerned only with MINIMUM (USRDA is the amount to prevent deficiency onlyODA applies to people like me) requirements and place no exclusions to different demographics on their little plan.It’s actually best for people to learn as much about nutrition as possible eg:How different macronutrients effect androgen levels,what nutrients should never be consumed in excess.

How different macronutrients and amounts effect blood glucose,the fact that athletes need far more protein (up to 1-1.5 gram(s) per pound of lean body weight per day),how proteins all differ in their quality and biolgical value(eating beans in pace of meat and dairy will diffinitely make most people deficient in essential amino acids) and how different forms of fiber are more conducive to a particular scenario than others. I have spent most of my 23 years as an athlete studying all of the latest breakthroughs in exercise and nitrition sciences. I base my diet on the things that I’ve learned my body needs,not a blanket statement that’s more concerned with how these guidelines impact businesses governed by the Dept.

Of Agriculture,who have definitely had their say in the shaping of said Pyramid. I have no trouble incorporating any of these things,but during times of reduced caloric intake(pre contest weight reduction) I definitely shy away from most sugary dairy and back off on the grains. I'll also have to limit fruits during this time,but opt for more vegetables based on their glycemic scores.

That’s my take,and I’m healthy. Sources: My Epinion based on years of study.

2 Joe, Thanks very much for the excellent answer and the link. The article looks very interesting, and I'll read it more closely tonight. It's great having questions answered by people who have really studied the problem!

How many carbs per day can you eat on the atkins diet.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
