The United States government has officially announced the reform of the food pyramid by publishing new dietary guidelines. This update aligns with the recommendations of nutritionist Adriana Martín, who has emphasized the importance of returning to eating habits based on natural and less processed products. Expert Adriana Martín, recognized for her work in the media, pointed out that the new structure responds to the need to implement what she calls the 'Creator's Diet'. This change implies an increase in the daily portion of protein and encourages the consumption of dairy products in their full-fat version, moving away from the low-fat versions that were previously suggested. Regarding alternatives for vegetarian or vegan diets, Martín explained in a television appearance that it is essential to consume a wide variety of legumes and grains of different colors. The specialist stressed that any product that is not natural and results from human processing should be consumed with caution, highlighting that nutrition should focus on the age-old and essential. The new food pyramid reverses the order of previous recommendations. With this change, the US food system aims to reduce dependence on packaged products and promote a healthier lifestyle. In the new structure, meat, cheese, and dairy products are now at the top, followed by a solid base of fruits and vegetables. The reformed guideline issues a clear warning against ultra-processed foods. According to Martín, this approach is based on consuming products from hunting, fishing, and foraging. This diversity is necessary to ensure the intake of the essential amino acids the body requires.
