Explore our diet guides to understand different eating patterns, their potential benefits, limitations and who they may be suitable for. This covers widely researched approaches such as the Mediterranean Diet, DASH Diet, vegetarian and vegan diets, intermittent fasting, ketogenic diets, high-protein diets and specialised nutrition approaches such as low-FODMAP, low-sodium and low-histamine diets.
We explain these dietary approaches using familiar Indian foods, ingredients and eating habits, helping readers understand how general nutrition principles may relate to everyday Indian food choices. Rather than providing one-size-fits-all diet charts, Newtrist focuses on helping you understand how each dietary approach works, the foods and nutrients involved, important precautions and situations where personalised nutrition guidance may be appropriate.
Chief Nutritionist Vasanthi Senthilvel at Newtrist Nutritionist Dietitian Dietician provides personalised nutrition guidance based on individual requirements, including health status, lifestyle, food preferences, cultural eating patterns and personal goals.
