Nutrition & Diet

A low-carbohydrate diet reduces carbohydrate intake while increasing protein and fat consumption. It may support weight management and blood glucose stability when energy balance is appropriate. Its effectiveness depends on individual suitability, dietary quality, and long-term sustainability.

The ketogenic diet is a very low-carbohydrate nutritional model designed to induce ketosis. It may support appetite control and weight management when aligned with energy balance principles. Its effectiveness and safety depend on individual suitability and careful planning.

Intermittent fasting is a time-restricted eating model that alternates between fasting and feeding periods. It may support weight management and appetite control when it results in sustained energy deficit. Long-term effectiveness depends on dietary quality, individual tolerance, and consistency.

Plant-based and vegan diets emphasize foods derived from plants and eliminate or reduce animal products. When properly planned, they can support metabolic health and weight management. Long-term success depends on dietary diversity and strategic supplementation where needed.

The Mediterranean diet is a balanced eating pattern based on plant foods, olive oil, and moderate fish intake. Its effectiveness results from nutrient synergy and long-term sustainability. It remains one of the most researched dietary models for metabolic and cardiovascular health.
