You’ve probably seen the new dietary guidelines everywhere lately 👀
I was on Fox Carolina News with Kari Beal talking about the new 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, but we got cut for time — so we only covered fiber and saturated fat (two big ones, but definitely not the whole story).
In the clip, I talk about:
- Why most people aren’t getting enough fiber
- How saturated fat adds up really fast
There’s a lot more nuance than what fits into a short TV segment, so I wrote a full blog where I share my take on:
• The new protein recommendations
• Sodium + why the messaging is confusing
• Added sugar and artificial sweeteners
• The all-or-nothing tone
• How the new graphic brings back major 90s diet mentality
• ...and how to actually make this work in real life

Nutrition shouldn’t feel confusing, restrictive, or stuck in the 90s!
