A Low Carb Food Pyramid

An Illustrated Guide to Low Carb Eating

There is no one way of eating that is best for everyone. The USDA Food Pyramid recognizes this by attempting to taylor their guidelines to the individual. That pyramid, however, has too much carbohydrate for people who have difficulty processing sugar (all carbohydrate breaks down into sugar in the body). Many of these people are insulin resistant, diabetic, or somewhere along what I call the Road to Diabetes.

Therefore, this pyramid is not meant to give precise advice to anyone, but merely to be an illustrated eating guide for those whose bodies do better with less carbohydrate.
