Plant Based / Keto / Mediterranean

Nutritional counseling services offer personalized guidance to help individuals adopt and maintain dietary patterns that align with their health goals and preferences. Focusing on specific diets such as Plant-Based, Ketogenic (Keto), and Mediterranean, these services provide tailored support to ensure nutritional adequacy and promote overall well-being.

Plant-Based Diet Counseling:

Emphasizing the consumption of whole, plant-derived foods, a plant-based diet can aid in preventing or managing conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Nutritional counseling for this diet involves:

READY FOR WEIGHT LOSS

  • Nutrient Assessment:

    Evaluating current intake to identify potential deficiencies in nutrients commonly lacking in plant-based diets, such as vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids.

  • Meal Planning:

    Developing balanced meal plans that incorporate a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds to meet nutritional needs.

  • Education:

    Providing information on plant-based protein sources, cooking techniques, and strategies to ensure a diverse and satisfying diet.

BOOST your Health and Wellness offers plant-forward nutritional counseling to assist patients in transitioning to a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle, which has been shown to support weight loss and disease management.

Ketogenic Diet Counseling:

The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan designed to induce ketosis, a metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy. This diet may benefit individuals seeking weight loss or improved blood sugar control. Nutritional counseling for the ketogenic diet includes:

READY FOR WEIGHT LOSS

  • Macronutrient Calculation:

    Determining the appropriate ratios of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates to achieve and maintain ketosis.

  • Food Selection Guidance:

    Identifying suitable high-fat, low-carb foods and advising on those to avoid, ensuring nutritional adequacy.

  • Monitoring and Support:

    Regular follow-ups to assess adherence, monitor for potential side effects, and adjust the plan as needed.

It's important to note that while some studies suggest benefits of a ketogenic diet, it may not be suitable for everyone, and potential risks should be considered.

Mediterranean Diet Counseling:

Inspired by the traditional eating patterns of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, this diet emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and healthy fats like olive oil, with moderate consumption of fish and poultry. Nutritional counseling for the Mediterranean diet involves:

READY FOR WEIGHT LOSS

  • Dietary Assessment:

    Reviewing current eating habits to identify areas for alignment with Mediterranean principles.

  • Customized Meal Planning:

    Creating meal plans that incorporate preferred foods while adhering to the diet's guidelines.

  • Lifestyle Integration:

    Offering strategies to incorporate Mediterranean eating patterns into daily life, including recipe suggestions and dining tips.

This dietary pattern has been associated with numerous health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease and improved cognitive function.

By engaging in nutritional counseling tailored to these specific diets, individuals receive expert guidance to make informed dietary choices, ensuring nutritional adequacy and supporting their overall health objectives.
