Food Clarification......

I have been asked some questions about positive and negative foods so I want to try and clarify.
- when you eat your 5 fruits and vegetables that counts towards your positive foods!!
- you can eat things not on the positive list, but avoid the negative list. The positive list should be the bulk of what you eat but doesn't have to be the only thing!!

Fruit and Vegetable serving sizes

In a recent challenge a friend of mine had some very useful information on Fruit and Vegetable serving sizes. So here is her information from Healthy Habits. Healthy Me.


This chart has a very comprehensive list of fruits and veggies and their serving sizes.

Here are a few common examples:

Fruits
-one banana
-six strawberries
-two plums
-fifteen grapes
-one apple
-one peach
-one-half cup of orange or other fruit juice

Vegetables
