🥗 The newest food pyramid flips the old rules upside down 👀
✨ What’s emphasized now:
🥦 Vegetables & fruits
🍳 High-quality proteins (animal and plant-based)
🥑 Healthy fats
🥛 Dairy

🌾 Whole grains are still included — just no longer the main focus.

What to skip:
❌ Ultra-processed foods
❌ Added sugars (max 10g per meal)
❌ Sweetened drinks
❌ Refined carbs

The goal 👉 Eat more real, nutrient-dense foods and fewer highly processed ones.
Simple. Balanced. Sustainable.

💡 This modern approach supports better energy, muscle health, and long-term wellness — while still allowing flexibility for different lifestyles. Keep in mind everyone has individual needs and we can help tweak what is best for you and your body! Questions? Give us a call so we can guide you, today!!!

What do you think of the new pyramid? ⬇️
