Description

This presentation will review current popular feeding trends in nutrition including the ketogenic diet, paleolithic diet, macro-based diets, and intermittent fasting.   In addition to detailed description/definitions/comparisons of each diet, topics that will be reviewed are evidence of efficacy in disease prevention (i.e. diabetes and heart disease), laboratory tests to monitor progress and safety in pregnancy and children.  Patient cases will also be presented demonstrating the reasonings behind choosing a specific feeding methodology.   Clinically effective combinations of these trends will also be reviewed.
