Sorry, but what’s the new Food Pyramid look like?

The food pyramid will be retired in favor of the new and improved food "web." Feel free to eat as much as you want of anything that gets caught in a spider web.

First, remove the retinol (vitamin a) supplements from skim milk. Foods have enough vitamin a.

Pseudoscience. A vegetarian diet is a slave diet.

Tiny treat? It’s like you have a choice - the block or your arm. Your play.

FTA: Late last year, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the Scientific Report of the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC).

^^^^^^
Let’s see, Trump’s inauguration was in January of this year, so this “report” preceded any MAHA influence in the government. So we will see how this shakes out.....

Then why wouldn’t they cancel this release? They really should if it’s not what they currently believe. It creates too much confusion.

Why doesn’t RFKjr stop this release since it seems these new guidelines were created last year? Unless he approves of all it says, which is highly unhealthful.

It is not just salt in the soup, it is the amount of ‘salt’ in every plant based substitute!! This is what peeves me off when my nutritionist suggests more plant based proteins. I whip out my handy phone and show the numbskull what she’s suggesting is high sodium content foods to a HBP person. Told her the last time...make a choice because I won’t be back to your office. It is obvious I am watching what I put in my body, you yourself don’t know what the nutrition labels say.

sorry to hear of what you are going through and I am not a doctor so I don’t know from that view.

Just from my life and all who have been in it at times, I have come to find, even in healthy people, they focus on ‘weight’ when really people should focus on nutrients. How many millions of people over thousands of years went through their entire life relatively healthy and never once stepped on a scale? our society says focus on weight number.

Yes, you don’t want bone and muscle loss, which can lead to ‘weight’ loss, but if you focus food to get the important nutrients in, rather than some people who just eat high calorie non nutritious things to try to keep weight up. With eating the more nutrient dense foods, the body can have the nutrients it needs to better repair and balance systems/functions to help maintain “weight” number and regain healthful bone and muscle etc. Maybe even regenerate things and surprise doctors even.

Someone posted in another thread about an inexpensive store brand version of beano product at walmart that helps break down carb molecules for people who’s body is having trouble with that. Alpha-galactosidase is the ingredient.

but of course listen to your doctor and professionals ideas too. I just find they are some times to programed in what they learned and don’t think of the simple or more patient friendly ways to get good whole body results or solve things.
I do find much help from other FR experiences, and online alternative doctors who give evidence to back their ideas to help people with things, so searching food or alternative things to help your situation may be worth it.

We all get health challenges of body, mind or spirit, and God can help us journey through. prayers for your continued recovery and best health

salt is likely what helps prolong the shelf life, like in frozen dinners too. preserved things need salt or sugar or vinegar or lard/fat.

our/society wanting convenience of not having to prepare our own food is the problem.

The Whipple removed my duodenum. That means no lactase, so I drink lactose free milk. The solves the gas problem. Using FODMAP as a set of "avoids" prevents other problems down the digestive tract. I'm currently focused on getting 100 to 120 grams of protein daily paired with 3 grams of HMB to preserve and build muscle. Daily D3 10000IU and K2 500 mcg to support moving calcium to bones and build muscle.

A difficult part of a post Whipple state is triggering "dumping". Last Saturday I was 150.7. This morning, 146.7. A 4 lb loss for the week. FitBit shows I was averaging just over 1,000 calories input daily while burning 1700. I'm 5 ft 11 in tall, so 146.7 is trending light. My interaction with grok indicates I really need to achieve 160 to improve my survival i.e. provide resources for my immune system to fight off any cancer that may still be around.

Tried that and found myself the victim of a protection racket.

I open the refrigerator and pull out the cheese box and suddenly I am the focus of two pairs of puppy eyes and only one pair belongs to an actual puppy. The other one is old enough to know better.

My dog loves Jarlsberg and Gjetost.

She only gets but small quantities.

She also gets shredded cheddar as “sprinkles” on her kibble.
