Lianhe Zaobao revisits key insights from our Senior Principal Dietitian, Mary-ann Chiam — now with a spotlight on trending ‘celebrity’ diets.
The fundamentals remain: balanced meals rich in fibre, protein and healthy fats; good hydration; and gradual weight loss to preserve muscle and strength. Maryann notes that while viral diets such as heated yogurt or boiled egg plans may support calorie reduction, they often lack nutritional balance and scientific grounding, particularly for older adults managing chronic conditions. Sustainable health, not fleeting fixes, remains the goal.
