Starting out on achieving your nutri-goal(s) towards a healthy lifestyle may be quite novel and challenging and many people even find it difficult to continue with healthy food choices they once resolved to. Consuming the right proportion of nutrients in the right quantity at the right time is basically required for a healthy body and in cases where there is need for diet modification for weight gain, weight loss, managing food allergies, food sensitivity, food intolerance and certain health conditions like diarrhea, constipation,  ulcer, diabetes, heart problems, etc., the diet is personalized and further modified by nutritionists and dietitians.

I once experienced ulcer years back and used anti-ulcer drugs, the omeprazole and antacid and also advised by a nutrition expert on the dietary modification and lifestyle changes for ulcer. It must be mentioned that starting and being consistent with the diet therapy was almost not easy; I would stick to the rules at first and after a while I find myself erring some of the rules and have relapses of the pain, then somehow along the line, I learnt to follow the rules in the best way suitable for me and I got past that experience. In all, for that experience, my nutri-goals had to be:

           Clear
           Achievable
           Realistic

clear understanding of your nutri-goals, why you need to modify your diet and how it helps you will motivate you to find achievable approaches with respect to the resources available and ability to tweak behavioral and lifestyle patterns to the ideal, realistic goals which do not to involve starving, quick and effortless weight loss, deficient diet restrictions and all sort of what I call 'ponzi scheme diet' with an empty structure that promises very fast weight gain or loss with very little work with slim teas and the likes.
