What recommendations do you have for people on special diets (e.g. diabetes, heart disease, food allergies)?
Recommendations for dietary intake are highly individualistic depending on factors such as current medical status and activity level. It is best that you consult a health professional such as your family physician, community health nurse or a Registered Dietitian who can assess your situation and make recommendations. For specific dietary guidance, a Registered Dietitian can perform a nutritional assessment and develop a meal plan unique for you. Contact your local public health department or community health centre for more information and resources and to find out how to access the services of a Registered Dietitian in your community. Their phone numbers are in the blue pages of your telephone book. Also, visit the Dietitians of Canada Web site or call (416) 596-0857.
