Fruits - Natures’ Candy
• Two to four servings are recommended daily.
• Choose whole fruits instead of juices whenever possible-they are higher in fiber.
• Most fruit flavored drinks are full of sugars and other added ingredients, rather than being nutritious.
• Examples of fruit servings?

Pork - “The Other White Meat”

Dairy - “Got Milk?”
• Choose skim milk or lowfat yogurt often because they contain less fat.
• 11/2 to 2 oz of cheese or 8 oz of yogurt are both considered a serving from this group.
• Calcium from dairy helps to build strong bones and avoid osteoporosis.

Vegetables

Fats- All that and a bag of chips!
• Fats are often generously added to other foods during preparation.
• Try using substitutes for butter, salad dressing or salt.
• Sugar free or diet drinks can be substituted for high calorie drinks.
• Are there any other ways to avoid a high fat diet?
