Here’s What Eating With the ‘Inverted’ Food Pyramid Looks Like

Real‑food eating is not a single cuisine; it is a way of organizing what you already eat. The strength of the new guidelines is that they can slide into almost any cultural pattern, as long as protein, plants, and whole‑food fats are allowed to show up and ultra‑processed products are gently pushed aside.

"Rather than chasing perfect portions, follow a clear pattern: put protein at the center, surround it with plenty of plants, and choose fats that come from real foods, like olives and avocados, instead of factory blends." That's the real trick, I think. Having time to cook the right things, instead of settling for the ultra-processed "fast" stuff...

And portion size is the other important piece of this. We downsized our plates so that things are now human sized.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - We also downsized and usually now one have breakfast and dinner and not any lunch most the time. Most of what We eat is cooked fresh and not processed food anyway and include a main course and vegetables. I don't use sugar or salt anymore anyway and that sure helps. Actually cooking real food usually doesn't involve that much time anyway and besides taste a lot better.

SMSgt Lawrence McCarter - I am a gym rat and I usually don't eat until I get back from the workout (except for sereral cups of coffee, of course). That could be 11 or close to noon...just depends on the workout.

Lt Col Charlie Brown COL (Join to see) Knowing what it in food probably BUT there may be an ulterior motive. We need to see where this goes and how to stop groceries for going up further. Caveats anyone?
