patterns, including low‐fat or fat‐free dairy foods, are associated with reduced risk for several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (strong evidence) and type 2 diabetes (moderate evidence). Research has also linked dairy intake to improved bone health, especially in children and adolescents.
Three servings of milk provide the same level of nutrients found in these foods “ … the amount of many potential alternatives to provide sufficient calcium would provide too many calories and/ or be a large amount to consume daily.” “ … bioavailability of the calcium in vegetable products has not been addressed and could pose a concern.”

EATING DAIRY FOODS IS NOT LINKED TO HIGHER RISK FOR KEY CHRONIC DISEASES and in some cases may be linked to lower risk, according to a review of 20+ studies. CVD
(includes heart attack and stroke)
Total dairy* and cheese consumption is associated with lower risk for stroke (moderate
quality evidence)
Total dairy, cheese and yogurt consumption is not associated with higher risk for CVD
(moderate- to high-quality evidence)
Total dairy, cheese and yogurt consumption is not associated with higher risk for coronary artery disease (moderate- to high-
quality evidence)
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Total dairy is associated with lower risk for hypertension (high-
quality evidence)
Cheese and yogurt consumption is not associated with higher risk for hypertension (moderate- to
high-quality evidence)
Clinical trials continue to investigate how dairy products, including low-fat dairy products, might contribute to a healthy blood pressure in different populations TYPE 2 DIABETES Total dairy, yogurt and cheese consumption is associated with lower risk for T2D (moderate- to
high-quality evidence)
A meta-analysis found eating approximately 3 ounces of yogurt (80 g) per day, compared to none, is associated with lower risk for T2D

How to spot a fad diet:
Promise a quick fix Claims that sound too good to be true Dramatic statements that are refuted by reputable
scientific organizations
Lists of "good" and "bad" foods Recommendations made to help sell a product Elimination of one or more of the five food groups (fruits, vegetables,
grains, protein, and dairy)
Low carbohydrate
Keto, Atkins, S
Low fat
Ornish, TLC, Engine 2
Elimination/ Food group restrictive
Whole 30, Paleo

Paleolithic diet
Emphasizes- lean meat, fish,
shellfish, fruit, vegetables, eggs, nuts, and seeds
Excludes- grains, legumes,
cereals, dairy, processed foods, refined sugars and added salt

Benefits
Includes nutrient-dense whole fresh foods and encourages limiting highly
processed foods containing added salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats
No long-term research to support
Limitations
Limitation of grains and dairy - limits key nutrients like fiber, vitamin D,
calcium, thiamin, riboflavin and iron.
Limitation of salt and dairy - increases one’s risk for developing iodine

Dairy
A meta-analysis showed association
between total dairy product consumption and the risk of T2DM.
The summary RR and 95%
CI for high vs. low total dairy product consumption was 0.89 (0.84– 0.94) (I2 = 48.81, p = 0.03).

Whole Grains
A higher intake of wholegrain is
associated with a lower risk of T2DM, as well as an improvement of its maj or risk factors (overweight/ obesity, plasma glucose regulation, postprandial hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance)

instead of blood glucose

S hort-term side effects- nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, difficulty in exercise tolerance, and constipation, sometimes referred to as keto flu
Long-term side effects- hepatic steatosis, hypoproteinemia, kidney stones, and vitamin and mineral deficiencies
Complications often lead to emergency room visits and admissions for dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, and hypoglycemia
Long-term compliance = low
Does it work?
Useful for some people with uncontrolled epilepsy Current Research - cancer and diabetic populations Obesity
Meta-analysis conducted by Bueno et al. (2013)- ket ogenic diet was associated with < 1 kg of
additional weight loss over high-carbohydrate, low-fat strategies
Meta-analysis conducted by Hall et al. (2016)- energy expenditure and fat loss was greater
with low-fat diets compared with ketogenic diets Concern for general population - high fat content combined with restrictions on
nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables and grains
Meta-analysis conducted by Aune el al. (2016)- whole grain intake was associated with a
dose-dependent reduction in risk of coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, total cancer, and all-cause mortality

No short or long term studies Why 30 days? How should people shift diet after 30 days? Long-term effect of categorizing foods as good vs bad
Any period of voluntary food
restriction
Protocols are varied and might
include:
Religious fasting Time restricted feeding S
cheduled days of extreme caloric restriction followed by normal or high calorie days
Research
Has not demonstrated that alternate-day fasting regimens produce superior weight
loss in comparison to standard, continuous calorie restriction weight-loss plans
There are considerable observational data on various forms of religious fasting
S
uggest that these regimens result in transitory weight loss
Mixed impacts on other biomarkers
Data are lacking regarding the impacts of intermittent fasting on other health
behaviors, such as diet, sleep, and physical activity
There are limited data linking intermittent fasting regimens with clinical outcomes
(diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, or other chronic diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease)
Future S
tudies Needed:
Modified fasting regimens appear to promote weight loss and may improve
metabolic health
Insufficient data to determine the optimal fasting regimen: Length of the fasting interval Number of fasting days per week Degree of energy restriction needed on fasting days Recommendations for dietary behavior on nonfasting days
Large-scale randomized trials of intermittent fasting regimens in free-living
adults are needed
S
tudies should examine effects on not only weight, but also body composition

Negative Health Effect- increased risk of heart disease Negative impact on metabolism Missing key nutrients
Example- calcium
Increased risk for osteoporosis, stress fracture, and broken bones
Can lead to eating disorders

messages you have the time and skill to provide to your patients
Recognize the difference between advising patients on the basics and
the in-depth counseling provided by an RDN
An RDN has the knowledge and skills needed to help individuals make
changes that can affect outcomes
Know when to refer to RDN
Could be one of the most important ways that health care professionals
help patients learn about, implement and sustain behavior changes
