We've had them all-the high fiber diet, the Protein diet, the hip and thigh diet. And here's the latest-the pyramid diet. But this isn't a diet to help people lose weight. It's a diet for healthy life. The pyramid diet is very simple. Different kinds of food are at different levels of the pyramid. The higher up the pyramid, the less you should eat. at the bottom of the pyramid are complex carbohydrates like bread, pasta and potatoes. these provide fiber and energy, A bout 50% of your diet should be complex carbohydrates. at the second level are fruits and vegetables, such as apples and carrots. these should be about 30% of your diet. They provide vitamins and minerals as well as fibre. Above fruit and vegetables are the protein-rich foods like meat, fish, beans and cheese. These also provide a lot of calcium. These protein-rich foods should be about 18% of your diet. At the top of the pyramid are fat, oil and sugar. We should eat as little as possible of things at this level.
