How does a therapeutic diet differ from a regular diet plan?

  1. It focuses on taste preferences only

  2. It excludes any specific nutrient modifications

  3. It is specifically tailored for disease management or treatment

  4. It encourages unlimited food intake

The correct answer is: It is specifically tailored for disease management or treatment

A therapeutic diet differs from a regular diet plan because it is specifically tailored for disease management or treatment. These diets are customized to meet the nutritional and medical needs of individuals with certain health conditions. Unlike a regular diet plan, a therapeutic diet takes into account specific dietary restrictions, modifications, and nutrient requirements to optimize the individual's health outcomes. The other options are incorrect because a therapeutic diet goes beyond just taste preferences, does not exclude nutrient modifications, and does not encourage unlimited food intake.
