NOTE
DIET FOR DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE
Special diets cater to the unique nutritional needs or dietary restrictions of different groups of people.
- Diet for vegetarians
- Diet for overweight
- Diet for underweight
Vegetarian diets exclude meat but include plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. To ensure adequate protein intake, vegetarians can include sources such as beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, edamame, quinoa, nuts, and seeds in their diet.
- Iron-rich foods like spinach, lentils, fortified cereals, and tofu should be consumed regularly, as iron from plant sources is less easily absorbed than iron from animal sources.
- Vitamin B12 supplementation or fortified foods are essential for vegetarians, as this vitamin is primarily found in animal products.
A diet for overweight individuals focuses on creating a calorie deficit to promote weight loss while ensuring adequate nutrition. Portion control and mindful eating are essential, along with choosing nutrient-dense, whole foods over processed or high-calorie foods.
- Emphasize lean protein sources such as chicken, turkey, fish, tofu, beans, and lentils to support muscle mass and satiety.
- Fill up on high-fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes to promote feelings of fullness and regulate blood sugar levels.
- Limit intake of added sugars, refined carbohydrates, and unhealthy fats found in sweets, sugary beverages, fried foods, and processed snacks.
A diet for underweight individuals aims to increase calorie intake to promote healthy weight gain.
- Focus on consuming energy-dense foods that provide a high number of calories in smaller portions, such as nuts, nut butter, seeds, avocados, cheese, full-fat dairy products, and healthy oils like olive oil.
- Include protein-rich foods such as lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and tofu to support muscle growth and repair.
- Opt for nutrient-rich snacks between meals, such as yogurt with granola, trail mix, smoothies with protein powder, cheese and crackers, or hummus with whole grain pita.
