New 2010 Dietary Guidelines

The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans were released in late January 2011. But what does this really mean for most Americans? These guidelines simply identify habits that the United States Department of Agriculture feel that U.S. citizens need to change based on research.

This set of guidelines is focused on obesity and the reduction of chronic diseases through proper nutrition and physical activity.

This document identifies the key concepts, which include:

Balancing calories consumed and monitoring portion sizes.
Eating more fruits and vegetables and choosing low fat dairy products.
Eating less sodium filled foods and drinking less sugary drinks

Other key features not listed include:

Adding physical activity to daily routines
Monitoring cholesterol, saturated and trans fats
Make half your grains whole
Alcohol should be consumed in moderation
Use oils to replace solid fats when possible

Overall, most Americans need to eat less processed foods and think whole foods. Fruits and vegetables are usually missed in most typical meals, but they contain such wonderful nutrients and have great benefits that everyone could stand to eat more. Sodium is used in most processed foods as a food preservative. Research is showing the health benefit of decreasing the amount of sodium in our diets.

Making small changes slowly over time can really make a difference in your health. If you need more information about healthy eating or want individualized information about nutrition, find a Registered Dietitian. A fat loss overview can help you establish a clear describe of what you need to focus on to complete your fat reduction goal if you're a starter; or serve as a reminder for these who are at an advanced or more advance level of their weightloss program. Following are seven steps that can serve as instructions for your own weight loss plan. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss plans have tricked people into thinking that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss applications only work by leading to a person's body to lose more muscle flesh and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. http://www.eatright.org/programs/rdfinder/
