World's Fastest Growing Weight Loss Company Weighs in on New Food Pyramid
Posted on: Tuesday, 19 April 2005, 18:00 CDT
HORSHAM, Pa., April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The new Food Pyramid released today by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) proves that one size does not fit all when it comes to weight loss and healthy nutrition. The new standard replaces a single pyramid with 12 pyramids, individually tailored to fit various lifestyles. That degree of personalization is the precise model on which LA Weight Loss has been based since 1989.
"The new standard shows once and for all that diets must be customized to the individual according to their lifestyle, activity levels, and age groups," says Dr. Boyd Lyles, Medical Director of LA Weight Loss and Director of the HeartHealth and Wellness Center in Dallas. "Our program has always espoused the same approach: providing our clients with one-on-one counseling and personalized meal plans developed specifically to individual needs."
Dr. Lyles is available for immediate interviews, and can provide members of the press with expert commentary and analysis regarding the USDA's updated Food Pyramid.
As part of the revamped model, the USDA has wisely reduced the amount of daily sugar intake and increased the daily amount of fruits and vegetables, which matches exactly with the LA Weight Loss program's recommendations of low sugar, low saturated fat, high fiber, and an emphasis fruits and vegetables. As a result, it's now even easier for LA Weight Loss clients to follow these new recommendations because they are consistent with the long-held guidelines of the program.
Both LA Weight Loss and the USDA stress meal planning and portion control as crucial to establishing the healthy eating habits that lead to short-term weight loss and long-term weight maintenance. Meal planning, for example, is essential when trying to consume more servings of fruits and vegetables a day; and time needs to be allotted for frequent grocery store visits to ensure the freshest, ripest produce.
One area that the USDA does not address, however, is the role of support systems to help maintain its suggested food guide in the everyday diet. While the new standards do provide a more balanced approach to healthy eating, the majority of Americans may find the guidelines difficult to follow. That's why LA Weight Loss not only provides clients with menu ideas, but also basic nutritional counseling and one-on-one support.
