46: Protein on Top, Confusion Below: The Truth About the New Food Pyramid

Keto Chow & SaltT: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) Buy us a cup of coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/2krazykids The new food pyramid is officially here — and at first glance, it looks like a massive improvement. Protein is finally at the top, saturated fat restrictions appear softer, and many people are celebrating this as a long-overdue fix to nutrition guidelines. But when you actually read the written recommendations, things don’t line up nearly as well. In this episode, Joe and Rachel break down the new food pyramid and expose the contradictions hiding behind the graphic. We talk about what truly changed, what stayed the same, and where the guidelines still quietly promote seed oils, ultra-processed foods, sugar, and mixed messaging around fruit and fat. This video covers: • The new food pyramid explained • What changed — and what didn’t — from past guidelines • Where seed oils still appear in the recommendations • Saturated fat vs vegetable oils • Fruit and sugar recommendations (good and bad) • Why “allowed” doesn’t always mean healthy • How to interpret nutrition guidelines for real-world metabolic health If you follow keto, low-carb, carnivore, or simply want to improve your energy, fat loss, and metabolic health, this breakdown helps you see beyond the graphic and make informed decisions without fear or confusion. 👉 Watch until the end to hear Joe and Rachel’s honest take on what the new food pyramid gets right — and where it still misses the mark. 🏘Join our Mighty Networks : https://2krazyketos.org/2kkCommunity 📬 📬 Sign up for our Mailing List: https://2krazyketos.org/MailingList Our Camping Channel: https://www.youtube.com/2krazykampers Our Homesteading Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@the2kkfarm Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2krazyketosfamily Our merchandise: https://2krazyketos.com/shop/ Our website: https://www.2krazyketos.com Our favorite Keto Products: https://bit.ly/2EcDi2R Our favorite Amazon products : https://www.amazon.com/shop/2kk Mailing Address: Joe & Rachel Stauffer c/o 2 krazy ketos 2713 SE Highway 70.
