ADA Food Pyramid

I know this isn't a recipe but I just had to post this. It really upsets me when I see what the ADA is doing to people despite the research that shows a very low carb diet is the best way to go. So, excuse me while I shriek in horror! What is The ADA thinking? Here is the food pyramid they are recommending. This is taken directly from their web site. Click Here for the ADA article

Here's an excerpt from their site. I don't know about you but if I ate according to their plan I would be on diabetes medication for sure and be battling my weight and so on and so on. NO THANKS ADA!!!! I'll stick with my 6-12-12-12 plan by Dr. B. His plan works. Even my Endo told me he can't argue with success.

 

"Grains and Starches

At the base of the pyramid are bread, cereal, rice, and pasta. These foods contain mostly carbohydrates.
The foods in this group are made mostly of grains, such as wheat, rye, and oats. Starchy vegetables like potatoes, peas, and corn also belong to this group, along with dry beans such as black eyed peas and pinto beans. Starchy vegetables and beans are in this group because they have about as much carbohydrate in one serving as a slice of bread. So, you should count them as carbohydrates for your meal plan.

Choose 6-11 servings per day. Remember, not many people would eat the maximum number of servings. Most people are toward the lower end of the range.

Serving sizes are:

1 slice of bread
¼ of a bagel (1 ounce)
½ an English muffin or pita bread
1, 6 inch tortilla
¾ cup dry cereal
½ cup cooked cereal
½ cup potato, yam, peas, corn, or cooked beans
1 cup winter squash
1/3 cup of rice or pasta"
