With food allergies on the rise and both therapeutic and lifestyle diets soaring in popularity, specialty diets are increasingly common. Nearly 32 million Americans have food allergies including 1 out of every 13 children. When you combine those on allergy-free diets with those following a Paleo, Keto or a plant-based diet/lifestyle the percentage of us adhering to a specialty diet is quite large.

However, adopting a specialty diet can be overwhelming in the beginning as it affects nearly every aspect of your life: how and where you shop for groceries, meal planning and preparation, eating out, staying compliant while traveling, avoiding allergens in personal care products and the list goes on. Fortunately, the food industry and other sectors (including health coaching) have stepped up to fill the needs of specialty dieters. So now it’s not only easier to follow your chosen way of eating its nutritious and delicious too.
