https://padlet.com/nutr1023nm/ebr0bwkl2x0o • Describe the defining characteristics of low carbohydrate, low fat, low glycaemic, Mediterranean, balanced, paleolithic and vegan dietary patterns. en-us 2018-03-04 23:44:26 UTC 2025-12-28 20:05:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/nutr1023nm/ebr0bwkl2x0o/wish/237890843 This dietary pattern focuses on minimising the intake of foods with a high glycemic index in order to reduce the overall glycemic load of the diet (a value which represents the ability of carbohydrates to increase levels of glucose in the blood).
Foods to Include:
Complex carbohydrates and higher fibre foods, such as:
- Oatmeal
- Sweet potato
- Legumes and beans

Foods to Avoid:
Refined/processed foods and simple sugars:
- White bread
- Some fruits: Bananas, melon, pineapple
- White potato
- Lollies

A possible limitation of this diet is that it sometimes excludes certain vegetables and fruits due to their higher GI index, however in doing so this can possibly remove essential vitamins and minerals from the diet.]]> 2018-03-05 01:16:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nutr1023nm/ebr0bwkl2x0o/wish/237890843 https://padlet.com/nutr1023nm/ebr0bwkl2x0o/wish/237890986 this diet stems from a study conducted in the 80’s on how our current struggled with chronic disease and low quality of life stems from a disconnect to what we ate in the paleolithic era.

- Consume plenty of plant foods (such as whole-grain products, fruits, and vegetables) and a moderate amount of lean and low-fat, animal-based food (meat and dairy products) to help control your fat, cholesterol, carbs, and calories.

- Low fat foods are generally less energy dense ]]> 2018-03-05 01:18:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nutr1023nm/ebr0bwkl2x0o/wish/237891331 https://padlet.com/nutr1023nm/ebr0bwkl2x0o/wish/237891609 The balanced diet is one which focuses on the eating of both plants and animal products, whilst conforming to dietary guidelines.
