I often get asked, 'What's the best diet? Is it the
high-protein or the low fat diet?' As a registered
dietitian, I keep myself up-to-date with the new diet
trends, and I try to separate the good science from
fad. And no matter what the new best-selling diet is
on the market, in the end it's about the amount of

Finding the Right Diet
There are several diets on the market, and preferences vary from person to person.
My recommendation is to look for one that you can tailor to your individual needs
and that encourages the inclusion of whole-food groups, moderate-to-small
servings, behavioral change, and physical activity

What Does Good Science Say About Diets?
A new study published by The New England Journal of Medicine states that
"reduced-calorie diets result in clinically meaningful weight loss regardless of
which macronutrients they emphasize.” In few words, one would lose weight when
calorie reduction occurs, regardless of whether the diet is high or low in a specific
food group (macronutrients)

Good News!
You'll be surprised to know that you don't need to deprive yourself of foods you
like or exercise for hours to lose weight. Just make a few simple changes in your
food choices and lead a less sedentary life. According to the USDA Dietary
Guidelines for Americans, "The best way to give your body the balanced nutrition
it needs is by eating a variety of nutrient-packed foods every day. Just be sure to
stay within your daily calorie needs.”
