Key Points

• Diet stacking occurs when a person follows multiple diets at the same time, which can do more harm than good to their health.
• According to Dr. Daisy Coyle, Research Fellow at The George Institute and an accredited dietitian, a truly healthy diet is not based on many restrictions but on balanced eating.
• According to Dr. Caroline Tuck of Swinburne University and Sarah Melton of Monash University, the number of people following multiple diets simultaneously is increasing, posing a challenge for doctors and dietitians in managing chronic diseases and causing nutrient deficiencies in many patients.
