New junk: This diet is just the latest in thousands of pseudo-scientific diets that aren't scientifically valid, but are designed to sell books, supplements, etc. And get someone on tv to scare a lot of people who don't know better. Eat a normal, well balanced diet and exercise daily. Don't get your health info from friends, tv or the internet.

Moderation: Moderation in all things. Eat lean meat, fish, fowl, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, low fat dairy products, legumes, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables. Fruits and veggies should be 5-7 servings a day. Each meal should contain protein, complex carbohydrate, fruit and or vegetable. Try to eat in portions that are age appropriate - try not to skip a meal.
