The Department of Agriculture has released a new set of dietary guidelines, and it includes a food pyramid that looks very different from the one you probably remember.
Championing protein and healthy fats while minimizing grains, the new nutrition recommendations, announced Jan. 7, are a departure from past government guidance. In fact, the accompanying food pyramid visual is a near complete inverse of what it once was, both visually and in terms of content.
In a White House news briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the announcement aligned with President Donald Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s promises to "Make America Healthy Again."

Agree, not a fan of generalized food pyramids because physiologies range all over the place. The new pyramid works for someone with lipids fully under control but with some insulin sensitivity (I eat that according to new pyramid) but the old pyramid might be better for someone with high cholesterol but normal blood sugar.

Looks like excellent common sense food advice. What took them so long? The processed food industry has way too much power and lobbyists. About time they get handcuffed.

Much better than what we were taught but also expensive.

I will remain skeptical of this pyramid until Wiggs lets me know who really built it.

Following that food pyramid will give you pyramid shits. :P

"Protein" itself wasn't a category on the popular diet visual until 2011, at which time it was still suggested in smaller portions. The latest guidelines not only focus on protein as a category, but the suggested intake has increased to 1.2-1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, up from the previous long-standing minimum of 0.8g/kg."
Not joswift approved. Double the protein! :o
My docs have all been protein-phobic. Especially if they hear about "protein shakes." Yet at hospital I got meal replacement protein shakes.

And extremely high fiber- which negates the sugar content.

Upon further research, GMO bananas don’t currently appear to available at your grocery store.

Uhm...no.
A medium banana contains about 27 grams of total carbohydrates, but when you subtract the 3 grams of fiber, the net carbs are approximately 24 grams. The net carb content can vary slightly depending on the banana's size and ripeness.

Big if true, sounds like a lie though. Too good to be true. Bananas and all other sweet fruits like strawberries are like crack cocaine

To live off prime cuts of beef, wild salmon etc without any pasta, rice, potatoes to fill you up, would cost an arm and a leg. But sure, I believe that would get you ripped and healthy. If you overdo the protein you will nuke your kidneys though

No, the high fat content of the meat, eggs, etc. is very satiating.
The high carb foods cause the opposite effect.

I have not the same experience. I eat a lot of meat, eggs, cheese and occasionally shrimp, cook it always with grass-fed natural butter and shit like that. But I also eat a lot of spaghetti and rice along with those. Also I get constipate from meat/eggs/cheese only without rice and pasta. I make a lot of home made oven baked vegetable sauce as I hate eating raw vegetables

24 net carbs in one banana is a lot of carbs
>
Bananas are generally not suitable for a ketogenic diet due to their high carbohydrate content, with a medium banana containing about 24 grams of net carbs, which can exceed the daily carb limit for most keto plans. It's better to opt for lower-carb fruits like avocados, strawberries, or raspberries instead.

The new food recommendations are better but still too lenient.
Most likely the need to pacify the corporate food lobbies entered into the result.
You are of course free to continue eating processed food garbage and lots of carbs and get fat and have Type 2 diabetes.

I don't think the Gary Taubes insulin model of obesity is scientific. Eating carbs obviously doesn't necessarily mean you get fat nor insulin resistant, not saying you claim this either, but you still might be slightly carb-phobic :D From what I can tell Type II diabetes has a bit more complex etiology than carb or sugar consumption per se. Protein causes insulin resistance too if you look at cellular mechanisms in studies, particularly the branched chain amino acids, which does not mean you in particular will get resistant if you eat plenty of protein. Context dependent obviously. I'm using some Toujeo basal low dose insulin at the moment for very theoretical reasons; paradoxically it's been shown in certain situations that it can even lower insulin resistance.
Retatrutide seems to be amazing for increasing insulin sensitivity. It's a weight loss drug but bodybuilders are experimenting with it now even in the off-season to get more out of their insulin use or to gain less fat when bulking. Here's one Type I diabetic pro bb:

Isn't it simply calories in VS calories out while avoiding artificial additives, dodgy ingredients etc? I eat a lot of carbs and a lot of fat (mostly eggs, roasted chickens with the skin, meat, rice, pasta, butter, and occasionally olive oil) but I never became overweight

A calorie is a calorie.
Not necessarily. It's just as much, if not more, about hormones too.
Insulin hormone:
If type 1 diabetics don't inject their insulin, they could eat 10,000 calories of whatever they want, even refined sugar, in a day and not gain one ounce of body fat and actually burn fat instead. Not that this is healthy or recommended, but it's what happens.
Why? Because the Insulin hormone isn't there to tell the body how to deal with all that blood glucose, how to burn it, how to store it, etc. So the body is deprived of energy and switches to making and burning ketones by breaking down fat stores instead. This of course can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis which is life-threatening. But you get the point.
Cortisol hormone:
You can eat zero carbs and still have very high blood glucose levels if your cortisol levels are high. Cortisol promotes gluconeogenesis. This can lead to insulin resistance and excess body fat storage, even on a zero carb diet. Your cortisol levels can be naturally higher in the morning. Skipping breakfast and drinking coffee on an empty stomach will send cortisol levels even higher. Eating only one large meal a day in the late afternoon or evening can raise your cortisol levels too, but not so much if eating your one meal in the morning.
FGF21 Hormone
This hormone promotes body fat burning and it's primarily released by low-protein feeding. Levels of this hormone seem to go up the most after low-protein meals and not so much during fasting. It doesn't matter if you eat only carbs or only fat, although it seems to go up more if you eat only sweet, refined carbs, probably as a way to signal that you're eating too many of these carbs.
Some in the medical/scientific community are saying that this is how/why The Sugar Diet fad works in helping some healthy, relatively lean males get leaner. It doesn't seem to work that well for females or obese individuals.
FGF21 doesn't go up as much while water fasting even though you're eating zero protein. It's the low protein feedings that elevate levels of this hormone the most.
High circulating levels of this hormone makes you crave protein while reducing sweets and alcohol cravings. The increase in body fat burning is probably to spare muscle mass and other tissues when eating only low-protein meals.
In this study, participants switching from their normal diet to a low-protein diet saw their FGF21 hormone levels increase and had to consume 800 more calories to avoid losing body weight, from fat. After going back to their normal protein intake, they had to eat 800 less calories to avoid gaining weight, from fat.
They didn't lose lean body mass while eating low protein for 5 weeks in this study, although going longer with this low protein intake might have eventually caught up to them.
Dietary protein restriction elevates FGF21 levels and energy requirements to maintain body weight in lean men

That is not correct. The sugar/carbs were always there. Protein. Was very low. Fat extremely low.
We specifically added in high fat on top of high carbs. Then everyone got fat and they blamed high carbs.
As a kid our food was always high carbs because meat was crazy expensive and fatty food wasn't something anyone ate. We were all skinny as.
Perhaps America or your country was very different where you all were on keto in the 1600s? I have no idea but typically we all came from high carb skinny people to adding fat and getting fat, not the other way around.

Trans fats... they removed animal fats and replaced with seed oils because they said it was healthier
In the 1980s the concept that saturated fats specifically were a major driver for heart disease grew in popularity and became fashionable. Consumer groups campaigned against saturated fats for frying in fast-food restaurants and the food industry exploited this marketing angle. The replacement of Saturated Fats by unsaturated fat Margarine was also supported by international medical society guidelines and charities based on the available evidence of the time. In response fast-food companies switched to partially hydrogenated oils containing Trans Fats instead of animal fats (such as lard) and other saturated fat oils. An additional appeal for the fast food industry was that Trans Fat oils do not need to be changed as often as other oils and can be used many time over in the commercial fryers (oils which are reheated repeatedly to high temperatures also develop other adverse toxic elements).
10 years later in the early 1990s new medical research starts to reveal that Trans Fats are seriously bad for health. Although small amounts of Trans fats can be found naturally it is industrially produced Trans fats which are linked to an increased risk of multiple diseases including cardiovascular disease and Cancers. There is nothing nutritionally positive about Trans fat —a pure evil ‘food’ (if you can even call it a food). Eating Trans fats increases LDL (bad cholesterol) and Triglycerides but also amazingly lowers HDL (good cholesterol) and promotes inflammation creating a perfect athrogenic [causing artery furring] environment. Trans fats increase your risk of developing heart disease, stroke, type 2 Diabetes and have been linked with several types of Cancer. Consumption of only 5 g per day is associated with a 23% increase in the risk of coronary heart disease!

You can get fat eating any kind of food if the calories you eat exceed what you burn.
However, a high carb diet triggers excessive insulin secretion which makes the body store excess glucose as fat, a survival mechanism for future times of insufficient food. This also strains the pancreas.
Over decades the pancreas can wear out resulting in Type 2 diabetes.
You can be thin and be a Type 2 diabetic.
When you are already getting sufficient calories, adding excess calories from fat just gets stored.
The Western Diet is approximately 300-400 grams of carbs per day. Add to this the excess calories from fast food, sugary drinks, etc. and you get fat people.
Foods such as seed oils, trans fats, sugars cause inflammation which is now considered the actual cause of heart disease.

It’s all about carbs. When I cut down on carbs, the weight drops.
Does not matter if I rear red meat, butter, olive oil or peanut butter. It’s all about carbs.
Children of the 90s and prior got away from eating a ton of carbs because we were outside all day. As an adult, the best way to reduce weight is cut down on carbs.
I just eat lean meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts/seeds, legumes, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, olive oil.
One day a week I usually have pasta.

I wonder what the fuck was going on when I lost an alarming amount of bodyfat very quickly when I had pancreatitis. At hospital my glucose was normal though so I wasn't diabetic. I was eating and drinking a ton of sugar too. I maintained strength and muscle as well and I wasn't pissing a lot or had other diabetic signs. I've gained back most of the bodyfat now though. My belly fat was so low they couldn't give me sub-q shots there which was insane. Nurses loved my veins though they tended to roll out of the way when hitting them with needles LOL. Docs said I must have changed my diet but that wasn't it. During part of this I was using cardarine but it can't be that effective.

"People with chronic pancreatitis often lose weight, even when their appetite and eating habits are normal. The weight loss occurs because the body does not secrete enough pancreatic enzymes to digest food, so nutrients are not absorbed normally. Poor digestion leads to malnutrition due to excretion of fat in the stool."

Thanks bro. However, they tested if I lacked that enzyme and I didn't. Even before testing I tried pancreatic enzymes to see if they helped in any way, which is what they prescribe if you lack the enzymes. I didn't notice any effects from it, though my bowels have have worked normally the whole time with no apparent problems with digestion. Some bodybuilders use these enzymes feeling they help digestion when eating a ton. Cost a lot out of pocket if pharma grade, would have gotten them for free if I'd lacked the enzyme.

Spot on loco.....exactly what I`m going through after my Pancreatic Cancer surgery..........ufortun ately. :(
I have to take an expensive Pancreatic Enzyme called Creon after each meal or snack, as I no longer digest fats well due to no longer having a Gall Bladder or Bile Duct and a small portion of my Pancreas left.
I`m devestated by this of course,but I will return to working out soon......I don`t quit easily !!

That's the product I tried, too expensive if there's no big benefit to me. Supp companies have these enzymes for sale too and some bodybuilders are big into different digestive enzymes. I got my gallbladder removed too but I haven't had any digestion issues from it so far.
