Three Weeks on a Low-Fat Vegan Diet Gets You on the Road to Your Healthy Weight Goal

Focus on the New Four Food Groups—grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruit—can provide you with all the nutrients you need. To meet your nutrient needs, select 8 servings of grains, 3 servings of legumes, at least 4 servings of vegetables, and 3 servings of fruit daily. It’s important to vary the foods you choose within the food groups, because not only is “variety the spice of life” it helps you to cover all your nutritional bases. The food guide chart will provide you with about 1500 calories. At the end of the guide, you will find ways to adjust this level of calories to meet your own energy requirements.
