When it comes to diets, one never knows what will work for them and what won't. These days with the onset of fad diets, people are often misled into believing that certain things may work for them just because they worked for someone else too. Dietitian Cara Rosenbloom said, “Diet is so individualized, and what works really well for one person may not work for someone else.”
“[Nondiet] dietitians… help you find the right eating plan that matches your specific needs based on your lifestyle, based on your income level, [and] the amount of time you have to cook and prepare meals.” “There’s so many variables to take into account to figure out the right way for you to eat that it’s impossible to read that in a book or online.”
“There is an abundance of misinformation about food and nutrition in our current environment from celebrities to bloggers; it’s very easy to have a platform without substantiated information,” said another dietitian. “Often, people need to be educated about different dietary patterns and the tactics on how to incorporate positive actions into their lives.”
“For long-term health and well-being, it’s essential to develop and maintain healthy lifestyle habits including a fitness plan, stress-reduction tactics, a restful sleep routine and a dietary pattern that works for the individual,” she said. “Continually practising healthy habits every day will give you the behaviour to adjust to new and changing conditions in your life such as ageing, travel and stress that may affect your eating habits.”
