Episode 2749 – Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer go over the new Dietary Guidelines that have been released, and whether they are on the right track.
The New Dietary Guidelines
- There are improvements, but a few things may still be lacking.
- (3:30)Protein levels are better, but recommendations for fat macros are still off.
- Institutions will follow the written guidelines, which are not necessarily reflected in the upside-down pyramid graphic.
- Institutions, like schools, have contracts with Big Food companies, which will affect how closely they follow the guidelines. (12:15)
- Chris goes through some of the guidelines. (15:30)
- The fat intake recommendations are off, in Vinnie’s experience. (24:00)
- Saturated fat is limited to 10% of all fats. (30:00)
- Vinnie believes these guidelines are good overall, but didn’t go far enough. (33:00)
- Institutions, companies, congresspeople, and others would most likely push back on a larger sweeping change.
- Whole grains, packaged breakfast options, and processed foods are at the bottom of the upside-down pyramid, and rightly so. (41:30)
- Limiting ultra-processed foods and refined carbs is recommended. (46:00)
- No meal should contain more than 10g of added sugars.
