Each year, the list of healthy diets to reduce or manage body weight continues to grow. Such diets are usually promoted in conjunction with evidence linking these diets to reduced chronic disease risk, clinical outcomes and quality of life. However, many are not backed by sound evidence and others fail to address important factors that need to be considered such as healthy weights, mental health and patient perspectives.

In 2019 the Canadian Nutrition Society’s thematic conference will be on ‘Advances in Nutrition: Healthy Diets and Weight – Sorting Fact from Fiction’.
