Glossary of Terms
    Colorful fruits and vegetables are the foundation of your daily menus. Full of vitamins and minerals, they help maintain your organs and immune system, keeping your body strong as the weight comes off.

ShapeWorks ™ makes it easy to choose the right fruits and vegetables for your meal plan by organizing them into seven unique color groups. Both men and women should include at least one serving from each group every day.

Simply eating more fruits and vegetables is not the answer– they must be the right fruits and vegetables. Starchy vegetables such as peas or lentils (200 to 250 calories per cup) are healthy, but they contain more calories than you may want. If you need to eat more to satisfy your hunger, add lowglycemic- load vegetables. For example, spinach and asparagus are better choices than higher-calorie corn and peas. A cup of spinach topped with 1.2 cup of tomato sauce has only about 90 calories, but it gives you nutrients from two color groups.


Why Not Brown and Beige?

When considering which foods to enjoy sparingly, also use color as a guideline. Many brown and beige carbohydrates, like pasta, beans and potatoes, while healthy, also tend to be high in calories.

Color Counts:
2 cups of spinach = 80 calories
2 cups of rice or potatoes = 500 calories

the doctor says
Colorful foods provide nutrition from the family of chemicals called phytonutrients or "plant" nutrients. These substances contribute to your healthy-food program.
