A dietary switch refers to a change in an individual's eating habits or food choices. This could mean switching from a diet high in processed and sugary foods to one that is rich in whole, nutrient-dense foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. It can also refer to changing specific aspects of one's diet, for example, switching from a carnivorous diet to a plant-based diet or vice versa. A dietary switch is often made with the intention of improving overall health, managing chronic conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes, or addressing specific nutrient deficiencies.
