At the clinic, we always have the same question that comes up. Which diet is better: low fat or low carb.

As everyone is different and may require different needs, it's best to consult with a certified dietitian when making changes to your diet, when trying to manage diabetes, or when trying to lose weight.

A dietitian can help you ensure that you are getting the proper nutrients from your foods, which certain restrictive diets may make difficult. A dietitian can also monitor your health and weight loss journey to make sure that it is safe, efficient, and sustainable for you.
