I discuss nutrition a lot on this blog, and two themes I come back to over and over again are the importance of avoiding processed foods and the benefits of increasing protein. I’ve also stated in the past that I am diet agnostic, by which I mean I believe a multitude of diets can work and the most important thing is to find the diet that works for you. With that said, patients and readers of this blog may have picked up on the fact that I tend to be partial to low-carb diets. This is not because I believe that low-carb diets are the only way to lose weight or that they are always the best choice, but because in my years of practice I’ve found many patients to have an easier time sticking to these plans and therefore achieving results than they do with other types of diets.
Where do plant based/vegan diets fall into my thinking?
