The New Food Guide PyramidBoth Canada and the United States have recently revised their food guide pyramid and food guides. The previous versions were a one-size fits all model, while the new Food Guide Pyramid and Canada's Food Guide both provide interactive tools for customizing your own individual diet and meal plans. My Pyramid is more personal and easy to understand than the old food guide pyramid. MyPramid contains new guidelines and has twelve sets of approved recommendations for individuals, based on sex, age, group and daily activity. One of the main reasons for the change from the food guide pyramid to My Pyramid, was that people were confused with the size of portions that the old food guide pyramid used. ![]() Boost Daily Vitamins will cover all the bases to help you understand the dietary guidelines and food guide pyramid, and provide information about each of the recommended food groups:
