Nutritionist criticized the new "planetary diet"

Nutritionist Roman Pristansky spoke out against the new "planetary diet", pointing out the climatic and cultural characteristics of different regions.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Tuesday, December 2, he noted that it was impossible to exclude red meat from the diet of residents of Yakutia and other northern regions, as this could lead to the degeneration of entire nations.

The expert stressed that nutritional needs strongly depend on the climate and there can be no universal solutions. He also expressed doubt that animal husbandry is the main environmental pest, noting that the widespread switch to plant—based food and an increase in its consumption can cause no less damage - the issue, according to him, is the rational use of resources.

Instead of extreme measures, the nutritionist suggested relying on a balanced and varied diet adapted to the real conditions of people's lives.

In August, nutritionist Natalia Mizinova said that the popular high-butter diet, which means "low in carbohydrates, high in fat," is undoubtedly harmful. The point of the diet is to replace carbohydrates with fats, but such a regime should be prescribed only by a doctor. The doctor warned that self-adherence to such a diet can lead to serious consequences, and after stopping the diet, there is often a sharp setback and rapid weight gain.
