Even Cavallari\u2019s team called the diet \u201cextreme biohacking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor most people, these foods don\u2019t need to be completely eliminated,\u201d Deahl said. In fact, so much restriction could leave critical gaps in nutrition.<\/p>\n<p>By not eating bread, dairy, wheat, eggs and seed oils, you might not get enough protein, fiber, calcium, iron, B vitamins and omega-3s \u2014 and your overall energy could be lacking.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, there\u2019s the issue of sustainability. \u201cThe more foods that are \u2018off-limits,\u2019 the harder it can become to eat flexibly in real life \u2014 at restaurants, while traveling, at social events, or simply when you\u2019re craving something different,\u201d Deahl said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Kerr shared she doesn\u2019t eat eggs, dairy or bread. <span class=\"credit\">mirandakerr\/Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This could develop into anxiety around food and an \u201can increasingly rigid relationship with eating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Idrees Mughal, a lifestyle medicine doctor, went to far as to call the eating plan \u201cdisordered,\u201d though he said he couldn\u2019t diagnose based off a video clip.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is exactly why celebrities and models should not be your source of nutrition advice,\u201d he said on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dr_idz\/video\/7671383489228328214\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok<\/a>. \u201cA healthy diet is not defined by how many foods you eliminate, how exotic your meat is or whatever wellness trend you happen to be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Deahl emphasizes that she believes we should have as little restriction as possible for a healthy diet, but restricting food is highly individual and should be left to each person and their doctors.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why, for the average client around Kerr\u2019s age Deahl \u201cwouldn\u2019t recommend\u201d this exact diet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a woman in her 40s, I\u2019d want to see a diet that provides adequate protein, fiber, healthy fats, complex carbohydrates and a wide range of nutrients,\u201d she said. \u201cThis becomes especially important during the perimenopausal years, when maintaining muscle mass, bone health, metabolic health, and overall energy becomes increasingly important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rather than restricting whole categories of food, Deahl says to consult a dietitian first to identify any sensitivities or foods causing inflammation.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>She appeared on the podcast \u201cLet\u2019s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari.\u201d <span class=\"credit\">YouTube \/ , Let&#8217;s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to take from Miranda Kerr\u2019s diet<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the collective social media reaction, Deahl says there are a few \u201cpositive foundations\u201d here\u00a0\u2014 namely, lots of whole foods and a variety of protein, vegetables and antioxidant-rich foods. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, she says it\u2019s good that Kerr \u201ceats before having her coffee, which can be helpful for energy, appetite, and blood sugar for many people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Deahl\u2019s biggest takeaway is that you can get the same anti-inflammatory benefits of a diet like this without all the restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d recommend eating plenty of whole foods, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds, quality proteins, seafood and minimally processed foods,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I would not automatically recommend eliminating wheat, dairy, eggs, carbohydrates or other food groups unless there is an individual reason to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Commenters were shocked by her restrictions, and nutrition experts say this is not for everyone. <span class=\"credit\">REUTERS<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t play copycat<\/h2>\n<p>Just because we get a glimpse of her day-to-day meals, Deahl points out we\u2019re not seeing their medical history, labs, genetics, medications or other factors that influence a diet.<\/p>\n<p>She also says we shouldn\u2019t look at someone\u2019s appearance and assume their diet is what makes them look that way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake inspiration from the principles, not the prescription,\u201d she recommends. \u201cWhole, minimally processed foods and plenty of plants? Absolutely. Assuming you need to eliminate the same foods as a 43-year-old celebrity because it works for her? That\u2019s where I\u2019d be much more cautious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of avoiding most carbs, for example, Deahl says to choose whole-food sources, like oats, potatoes, beans, whole grains, and fruit to get fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial compounds.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don\u2019t worry too much about salmon, even if you eat it multiple times a week, Deahl says. \u201cSalmon is one of the lower-mercury fish and is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for brain, cardiovascular, and cellular health.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to eat like a supermodel?
