Food!

This is the "new food pyramid". The best nutritional advice is NOT on the web or on TV or in the grocery-store checkout lane--it is here.

The major problem with the nutritional state of Americans, contrary to the latest foodie propaganda, is not gluten or antioxidants or vitamins--it is CALORIES.

Specifically, too many! By 2020 40% of the adult U.S. population will be obese (BMI > 30).

There is no magic except this, and I give it for free: 

eat less, exercise more. If you take in more calories than you expend--FOR WHATEVER REASON--you will gain weight. If you expend more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. 

And sorry, Dr. Oz (who is not trained in nutrition, btw)--there are NO "fat burning foods".  The only thing that "burns fat" is energy consumption, which is done by our cells, not our foods, and only after all available glucose has been used. Glucose metabolism cannot be "bypassed" and all the other "eat more and STILL lose weight" diets are simply lies.

And carbohydrates are not poison!
