KUSA — If you’re not following a particular diet, you might actually be doing it just right. Registered Dietitian Kristi Rolfsen recommends what she calls “intuitive eating.” According to Rolfsen, “I focus on food that energizes me and keeps my body happy.” That means incorporating fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, nuts, healthy fats, and whole grains. It also means she doesn’t have to follow any strict rules that come with most diets.
“Sorting through diets is confusing,” says Rolfsen. “We see the latest diets all over, from TV commercials to our Facebook feeds.” Then, as she points out, there’s all that conflicting information out there. She likes to point out that if there was one particular diet that worked, there wouldn’t be a need for so many diets to exist in the first place.
Now, you should talk about diet with your healthcare provider, especially if you have a health condition. Then, you may want to avoid certain foods or maintain a particular diet.
