Figure 1: The Prader-Willi eating pyramid is divided into 5 groups: in the
base, there is the vegetable group (6-8 portions a day). Above the
vegetables there is the group of bread, cereal, rice and pasta group
(3-5 portions a day), and next to it is the fruit group (4 portions a
day). The milk, yogurt and cheese group (2 portions a day) stands right
next to meat, poultry, fish, dry beans and egg group (1-2 portions a
day). On the top of the pyramid there are fat and sweets, which should
be eaten only sporadically (reproduction of the figure was
