Diet food (or dietetic food) refers to any food or drink whose recipe has been altered in some way to make it part of a body modification diet. Although the usual intention is weight loss and change in body type, sometimes the intention is to aid in gaining weight or muscle as in bodybuilding supplements.

Terminology

In addition to diet other words or phrases are used to identify and describe these foods including light or lite, low calorie, low fat, no fat, fat free, no sugar, sugar free, and zero calorie. In some areas use of these terms may be regulated by law. For example in the U.S. a product labeled low fat must not contain more than 3 grams of fat per serving; and to be labeled fat free it must contain less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving.

Process

The process of making a diet version of a food usually requires finding an acceptable low calorie substitute for some high calorie ingredient. This can be as simple as replacing some or all of the food's sugar with a sugar substitute as is common with diet soft drinks such as Coca-Cola (for example Diet Coke). In some snacks, the food may be baked instead of fried thus reducing the calories. In other cases, low fat ingredients may be used as replacements.

In whole grain foods, the higher fiber content effectively displaces some of the starch component of the flour. Since certain fibers have no calories, this results in a modest caloric reduction. Another technique relies on the intentional addition of other reduced-calorie ingredients, such as resistant starch or dietary fiber, to replace part of the flour and achieve a more significant caloric reduction.

What are the negative aspects of a raw food diet?
Q. I've read so much about the positive aspects of eating a raw food diet I was wondering were there any proven negative drawbacks? Has anyone had any experience with a raw food diet and didn't like what the results?
Asked by oceanswim - Sun Jun 14 03:28:54 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. When we say raw food diet it was based on unprocessed and uncooked plant foods, such as vegetables, seeds, grains, nuts, dried fruits, seaweeds, beans and so much more. Enzymes that assist in our digestion and absorption of food, will be destroyed if a certain food will be heated above 116 degrees F. In a nutshell, cooking will diminish all the nutritional value of food. That is why; I don't think the diet using raw foods have a negative effect to our body. If you want to take a diet, you should eat raw foods, because at least 75% of diet should must be living on raw.

Is a raw food diet good for a dog with struvite crystals?
Q. My pug is prone to struvite crystals and I am curious about the benefits of a raw food diet for his condition. Does anyone have any information? I just want him to be healthy!
Asked by S Bear - Fri Nov 20 17:54:09 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A dog that develops struvite crystals should be on a food with a reasonable protein level (arounbd 18-25%) that promotes a healthy urine pH. I use California Natural for my own dogs (one also used to develop crystals). There are prescription diets available, as well, though they cost more, and often, there are healthier choices available. If the crystals continue to recur, a prescription diet may be the best choice. They haven't been back in my dog since I switched food.
