New Dietary Guidelines for 2011

Tips to help translate the new dietary guidelines:

1. Enjoy your food, but eat less.
2. Avoid oversized portions.
3. Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
4. Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
5. Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals – and choose the foods with lower numbers.
6. Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
