The Pyramid Diet™ - Our Pyramid Diet is based on the USDA Food Pyramid daily food recommendations with the idea that when an individual eats the recommended daily calories for their recommended weight, the extra weight will naturally come off. Basically, it's the closest thing that one can get to a 'no-diet diet'.
