I completely agree - this is a huge improvement on where we've seen the guidelines prior. I think the emphasis on protein is too intense and produce should occupy the largest percentage of food recommended daily, with protein/healthy fats following next. I would LOVE to see more specificity on ingredients along with the recommendations NOT to consume refined sugars, highly processed foods and oils and alcohol as you suggest.
There has felt like so much pressure to eat more protein! And it’s everywhere! Even in coffee purchases where I live. At first, not going to lie, I played into a little. But honestly, I don’t want powders and I want to live more naturally — in a balanced way! 🤍💚
It’s a start, but like any recommendation — we must implement with what works for our own body.
