So what am I supposed to eat!?

Fad diets, such as Keto and Vegan, are not essential for weight loss, though they can be suitable options for individuals who choose to follow them. Instead, a balanced dietary approach is often more effective and sustainable. I recommend that individuals focus on a diet that is:

• Minimally processed: Prioritize whole foods that avoid additives and preservatives.

• High in protein-rich foods: Incorporate sources like lean meats, legumes, and dairy, which help maintain muscle mass during weight loss.

• High in colorful plants: Include a variety of fruits and vegetables to enhance gut health and provide essential vitamins and minerals.

• Low in sugary beverages: Limit drinks that can spike blood sugar levels, such as sodas and sugary juices.

These guidelines will support overall health and effective weight management without resorting to restrictive diets.
