\"Paleo<\/a>Americans are consulting dietitians more than ever before, to gain nutritional information and advice about diets. \u00a0A survey conducted amongst 500 dietitians highlighted the following food trends for 2014, likely to apply locally too. \u00a0According to\u00a0eTurboNews <\/strong>the top 14 eating trends are as follows:<\/p>\n

1. \u00a0 Anti-wheat: \u00a0wheat-reduced diets like the Paleo diet, gluten-free, or ‘wheat belly<\/em>‘, is the top eating trend, despite there being no evidence that these lead to weight-loss.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Ancient grains: \u00a0are popular again, despite the contradictory anti-wheat trend.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0 Low fat: the focus on low fat diets will largely fall away.<\/p>\n

4. \u00a0 ‘MyPlate<\/em>‘: this educational tool to create a healthy diet and to eat correctly is recommended to their clients by the majority of dietitians.<\/p>\n

5. \u00a0 Health: \u00a0this is an important consideration for shoppers, so much so that in-store Supermarket Dietitians dispensing advice are offered as a service to customers.<\/p>\n

6. \u00a0Information guidance: \u00a0TV doctors, chefs, and trainers will be the most popular sources of information guiding healthy eating.<\/p>\n

7. \u00a0 Judging diet success: \u00a0friends and family become the benchmark of judging the success of a diet and a healthy eating plan.<\/p>\n

8. \u00a0 Blog advice about nutrition and health: \u00a0blogs are increasingly followed for diet advice.<\/p>\n

9. \u00a0 The (mis)information age: \u00a0Most nutrition information is based on ‘personal beliefs and half-truths rather than published peer-reviewed research’<\/em>, the dietitians interviewed fed back.<\/p>\n

10. \u00a0 More eco-conscious: Shoppers consider sustainability and local sourcing when shopping. .<\/p>\n

11. \u00a0 Bodyweight static: consumers appear to accept their weight, and the average weight is not decreasing.<\/p>\n

12. \u00a0\u00a0Fruits and veggies: as attention to diets and healthy eating improves, more fruit and vegetables are eaten.<\/p>\n

13. \u00a0 Health benefits: kale, coconut oil, or chia seeds are growing in popularity for their health advantages.<\/p>\n

14. \u00a0 Information-needy: \u00a0consumers will increasingly seek information about nutrition and weight-loss.<\/p>\n
