Texas just released its first nutrition guidelines, and the message is simple: eat real food.A) Half your plate with vegetables and fruit. B) Protein every day. C) Healthy fats (KB forgot in the video, sleepy head). D) Whole grains. E) Water instead of sugary drinks. F)Less ultra-processed food.
This is especially important if youâre trying to lose weight, using a GLP-1, working on blood sugar, improving blood pressure, or just trying to feel better. Medication can be a tool. Supplements can be a tool. But food is still the foundation.
Start with one change today: add protein, add color, drink more water, or cook one more meal at home this week.
