2021, Contemporary Clinical Trials CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :GSH utilizes the Traffic Light Diet, which categorizes food by energy content into the three colors of the traffic light. Foods are classified into red, yellow and green based on caloric density and grams of sugar per serving; green foods (go) are low in calories and may be consumed in unlimited quantities; yellow foods (caution) have average nutritional value for foods within their food group and are to be eaten with caution; red foods (stop) are energy-dense and should be limited in quantity [51–54]. Dietary recommendations encourage parents/children to count the number of servings consumed for each traffic light color (red, yellow and green).
