I don't think it's similar to what maintenance would be...I don't foresee me ever eating more grains than veggies. Even if we are talking about whole grains. The whole bottom is split between whole grains and vegetable oils. The meat and dairy are split at the very top of the pyramid. Even in maintenance phases I'm not sure you should be eating less meat than anything else. Doesn't seem like much of an improvement at all - if any. It's still basically 'fill up on grains and eat very limited amounts of meats...which sounds eerily like the current recommendations.
