*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "request-WEB:1018a163-2490-4caf-b84e-0b8d341ead57-2" data-testid= "conversation-turn-6" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> The new food pyramid has officially been released, and many people are celebrating what looks like a major shift in nutrition advice — protein is finally at the top, saturated fat warnings appear softer, and the graphic itself suggests a more balanced approach. But when you go beyond the picture and read the actual dietary recommendations, the story becomes far more complicated. In this episode of the 2 Krazy Ketos Podcast, Joe and Rachel take a deep dive into the new food pyramid and break down what truly changed, what didn't, and where the contradictions start to appear. We examine how the updated guidelines still promote seed oils, allow ultra-processed foods, and send mixed messages around fruit, sugar, fat, and protein — despite appearing more keto-friendly on the surface. This episode covers: • New food pyramid explained • Dietary Guidelines contradictions • Protein recommendations and limits • Saturated fat vs seed oils • Sugar and fruit recommendations • Ultra-processed foods in modern nutrition • Why "allowed" doesn't always mean healthy • How to interpret nutrition guidelines for real-world fat loss and metabolic health If you follow keto, low-carb, carnivore, or simply want to improve your metabolic health, this episode helps you understand how to read nutrition guidelines critically — without fear, confusion, or blind trust in government graphics. Whether you're trying to lose fat, improve energy, reverse insulin resistance, or just make sense of conflicting nutrition advice, this breakdown of the new food pyramid gives you the context you need to make informed decisions for your health journey. 🎧 Listen now to learn what the new food pyramid gets right — and where it still misses the mark. ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount)  Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne  Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy   📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids  Subscribe to our Youtube Channels: Keto Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ5Dh6Wuvt4b9BFYXigWKvA   Our Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Our Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm   🏘Join our Mighty Networks : https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily If you are interested in partipating in a Free Keto Audit you can schedule one here: https://2krazyketos.org/AuditPodcast Head to 2 Krazy Ketos to learn more about the Ketogenic Lifestyle!
