Skipping that food? Here are 6 ways to balance your nutrition
Specialized eating plans are no longer that “special.” In a recent Nielsen survey, 31 percent of responders said that they or someone in their household avoid certain foods because of a food allergy or intolerance.

We’ve created six scenarios of people following personalized diets to show how to make up any nutritional shortfalls. Find your match to target your needs.
