Online Nutrition Plan

“Ketogenic” is a term for a low-carb diet (like the Atkins diet but not the same). The idea is for you to get more calories from protein and fat and 5% from carbohydrates. You cut back most on the carbs that are easy to digest, like sugar, soda, pastries, and white bread. We do not recommend this type of diet for a longer period of time. The keto diet could cause low blood pressure, kidney stones, constipation, nutrient deficiencies, and an increased risk of heart disease. Strict diets like keto could also cause social isolation or disordered eating. Keto is not safe for those with any conditions involving their pancreas, liver, thyroid, or gallbladder.

A paleo diet typically includes lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds — foods that in the past could be obtained by hunting and gathering. It avoids processed foods, grains, and sugar.

A gluten-free diet is a diet that excludes protein gluten. Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and a cross between wheat and rye called triticale. A gluten-free diet is essential for managing signs and symptoms of celiac disease and other medical conditions associated with gluten.

Omnivores eat all types of food plant and animal-based.

Pescatarians eat plant-based foods, dairy products, fish, and eggs, and exclude meat and poultry.

A lactose-free diet means eating foods that have no lactose. Lactose is a sugar that is a normal part of milk products. Some people do not break down lactose well. They may not have enough lactase, the enzyme that breaks lactose down in the body.
