This content explains a major shift in federal dietary recommendations, moving away from a carbohydrate-focused food pyramid toward a model that emphasizes high-quality protein and whole foods. The update highlights ultra-processed foods as the main drivers of chronic conditions like obesity and diabetes.Key changes include:
  • Increasing the recommended daily protein intake
  • Moving away from the traditional focus on calories in versus calories out
