The Power Plate - The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
The Power Plate is a no-cholesterol, low-fat plan that supplies all of an average adult’s daily nutritional requirements,including substantial amounts of fiber.

In 2011, the USDA revised its recommendations with MyPlate, a plan that reduces the prominence of animal products and vegetable fats. But because regular consumption of such foods—even in lower quantities—poses serious health risks, PCRM recommends instead the Power Plate, based on the New Four Food Groups.
