The MyPyramid food guidance system helps consumers include foods that meet their nutrient needs and limit intake of dietary components that are often eaten in excess. For many consumers, following MyPyramid will increase their intake of fruits and vegetables, but this is only one part of the recommendations. MyPyramid groups foods according to their nutrient content, but not fat, sodium, and fiber specifically. Intake of fat-soluble vitamins has no effect on weight loss.
