OK. Folks, this is the ENTHRALLING, FASCINATING, MIRACULOUS pyramid that the HPB has so GENEROUSLY, SELFLESSLY drawn up for us to use.
Anyway, we see that the most amount of food to be consumed comes from rice and alternatives, the bottommost layer. Basically, this means that we are supposed to eat lots of that in proportion to other things :D
Next comes the fruits and vegetables. I eat an adequate amount of fruits, but I'm not sure about the vegetables. I think I should try to vary the types of veggies I eat (not just beansprouts, sorry XD). Maybe, I should try some more leafy veggies, to increase the amount of fibre I take?
Then, MEAT! I actually am an extremely carnivorous person, but seeing the amt of fat and protein I take...well...maybe I should cut down the amount of red meat I take. I could consume the healthier meats, like chicken and fish.
Last but not least, the last layer...presenting...OILS AND SUGAR AND SALT! This layer should be taken sparingly. I don't really like super sweet things (like candy), so I don't think my intake of sugar should be too much of a problem. However, I really decrease my intake of salt, because the amt I consume is nearly twice of the recommended...but food doesn't taste good without salt...oh well. To avoid taking too much fats (as mentioned before), I should also ask my maid to use less oil, when cooking, and to use olive oil. Actually, I think she already uses olive oil... (:
Thus, the pyramid has been chopped down, sliced around, investigated and analysed! Yay!
Hahaha...
