Dietary Definitions

With the fast pace of scientific research, as well as the proliferation of specialized and sometimes expensive dietary products popping up in grocery stores, you may find it difficult to keep track of what's what. Here's a handy guide of the many popular dietary terms used today:

Celiac-safe: Celiac disease is a condition where the lining of the small intestine reacts to eating gluten, which is found in wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats. This prevents nutrients from being absorbed properly, causes pain and discomfort in the digestive tract, and can lead to other digestive disorders.

Gluten-free: These foods are currently the only known effective treatment for people diagnosed with celiac disease and for some with wheat allergies. Safe foods include meat, fish, nuts, legumes, fruit, vegetables and potatoes; pseudo-cereals like buckwheat, chia seed and quinoa, and some cereal grains like corn, rice and sorghum.

Lactose-free: Lactose is a sugar found in milk and dairy products like yogurt and cheese. Some people are lactose-intolerant, meaning they do not break down lactose well due to over or under-production of lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose. In both cases, lactose causes temporary and sometimes painful abdominal bloating or cramping.

GL and GI: Watching glucose intake is crucial for diabetics. The glycemic load (GL) estimates how much a given food raises a person's blood glucose level after eating it. GL is based on the glycemic index (GI), which rates various foods. Foods with a high GI rating will raise blood glucose more than those with medium or lower GI ratings.

Paleo: Those who follow a Paleo diet avoid foods that were not available to cavemen during the Paleolithic era. These foods include dairy products, grains, legumes, processed oils and refined sugar. A Paleo lifestyle also encourages physical fitness through constant movement, much like our "hunter-gatherer" predecessors.

Vegan: A plant-based regimen refraining from use of any animal products or by products, including dairy foods and honey. Vegans also avoid using leather goods and animal-tested products. Raw-vegans abstain from cooked foods and eat only plant-based foods that may be eaten in a raw state.

Vegetarian: While all vegetarians refrain from eating the meat of land-animals and focus on plant-based diets, there are subsets depending on individual preferences:
  • Lacto Vegetarians add milk and dairy products to the plant-based diet.
  • Lacto-ovo Vegetarians add eggs as well as milk and dairy products.
  • Pescatarians add fish to the plant-based regimen even though it is technically meat.
