Not only did we attended the lectures for the heart, but also for the control of diabetes.  My husband was given a pyramid chart with the food choices.

At the bottom are the grains, beans, and starchy vegetables, and they suggest 6 servings a day.  Then the vegetables and fruits, which are three to five servings a day.  Nearer the top are milk and meat/fish etc., with two to three servings. 

Finally at the top of the guide is the, ‘in moderation’ group of fats, sweets, and alcohol.

He was told to eat small amounts, often, and not to skip meals altogether.  They also gave him a diet sheet for 1800 calories a day.  For a guy six feet tall, weighing almost 200 pounds, that is not a lot of food.
