NICE – Changing diet

  • Tailor dietary changes to food preferences and allow for a flexible and individual approach to reducing calorie intake.​
  • Do not use unduly restrictive and nutritionally unbalanced diets, because they are ineffective in the long term and can be harmful.
  • Encourage people to improve their diet even if they do not lose weight, because there can be other health benefits.
  • A dietary approach alone is not recommended. It is essential that any dietary recommendations are part of a multicomponent intervention.
  • Any dietary changes should be age appropriate and consistent with healthy eating advice.
    For overweight and obese children and young people, total energy intake should be below their energy expenditure. Changes should be sustainable.
