There is a well-established strong evidence base to propagate the traditional Indian diet as it is wholesome in itself to provide all the essential nutrients (both macro and micro) that one needs. The trending diets are fad diets (other than the Mediterranean and DASH Diet ofcourse – components of which are already included in a balanced diet), that only have a short tem impact, are usually not sustainable and very little is known about their long term implications.
It is ideal to obtain all the nutrients through food itself instead of popping any pill. Only if the client is a vegetarian or a vegan (a supplement to meet the daily vitamin B12 requirement) or has a physiological condition that demands nutrients that cannot be met via the diet alone, it is only then that the supplements will be recommended.
You can reach out to Dr. Roy for consultation for any nutrition related issue.
