Flexible dieting isn’t really dieting at all. It’s about meeting your nutritional needs on a daily basis while having the flexibility to choose your favorite foods from within the five food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. For those who find traditional dieting constraining and downright ineffective, flexible dieting might be just the thing that moves the scale.
What Is Flexible Dieting?
According to registered dietitian Catherine Gervacio from the E-Health Project, the diet provides a host of options. “There is no specific diet plan with this approach. That’s because it is more focused on tracking and managing calories and macronutrients by choosing the type and amount of foods appropriate to meet the requirements,” Gervacio said.
While it’s flexible, the diet can still have an important impact on the body if the “dieter” makes sure to meet their macronutrient goals on a daily basis.
