How Restrictive Is Your Diet?

Many people hear the term 'restrictive diet' and think it involves restricting calorie intake by modifying portion sizes without becoming malnourished or deficient in nutrients. This is an accurate description of the term. However, people who suffer from Celiac disease and other food-related intolerances maintain a different type of restrictive diet. Physicians can diagnose vitamin and mineral deficiencies in people on these diets using a simple blood test. People can then alter their restrictive diet accordingly. Although some people end up on a restrictive diet because of an allergy, many people with allergies can find synthetic versions of the vitamin or mineral they are missing from their diet. It is important to discuss a restrictive diet with a physician or nutritional specialist before starting it.
