New dietary guidelines just released by the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services tell us what many of us know but have been reluctant to do: “Enjoy your food, but eat less.” According to the guidelines, Americans eat too much food but not enough that’s actually good for them—astonishingly, as many as 75-95% of Americans aren’t getting enough vegetables, which provide nutrients important for good health.  So choose an assortment of vegetables, in a range of different colors, to make sure you are getting a variety of vitamins and minerals daily.  The new guidelines encourage Americans to fill half of their plate with fruits and vegetables, then use the rest for lean protein, low-fat dairy and whole grain.
