specialized diet

Tailored food plan

A specialized diet is an eating pattern tailored to specific needs—medical conditions, athletic goals, ethical beliefs, or allergies.

Someone with celiac disease follows a gluten-free specialized diet; a bodybuilder might adopt a high-protein regimen.

The term often appears in medical and veterinary contexts: The dog requires a specialized diet for kidney disease.

It implies deliberate restriction or modification rather than casual food preferences.
