In 1992, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) introduced the Food Pyramid, a tool designed to be used by adults searching for what to include in a healthy diet. Since its introduction, the pyramid—which is now displayed as a plate instead of a pyramid—has undergone some drastic changes.

If you’ve recently embarked on making dietary changes for your health, you may realize that it can be difficult at times. Summertime fun, including vacations, barbecues and plenty of cool treats, can often lead to barriers that get us off track.

The idea of sticking to a strict diet is daunting, and the thought of avoiding your favorite foods and searching for healthy options when eating out can make it even harder. Luckily, there are ways to lose weight without committing to a fad diet.
