The images below were taken on December 4, 2025, and January 14, 2026, during the Christmas–New Year period. During this time, there was increased dietary indulgence, reduced dietary focus, no exercise, and no alteration or restriction to food intake. All meals and recipes were sourced from The Lymphatic-Friendly Diet™ book shown below.

Developed by Kristin Osborn, the author of "The Lymphatic-Friendly Diet™" and an experienced lipoedema and lymphoedema nutritionist, The Average Diet™ is an evidence-informed nutritional framework specifically aligned with lipoedema and lymphatic system care.

The Average Diet™ works in conjunction with The Lymphatic-Friendly Diet™, building on its lymphatic-supportive foundations while placing greater emphasis on organ regulation, including liver function, gut integrity, bowel management, hormonal balance and inflammatory load. 

While The Lymphatic-Friendly Diet™ provides core guidance and recipes for supporting lymphatic health, The Average Diet™ extends this approach by addressing the physiological systems that influence lymphatic efficiency, tissue health and long-term regulation.

Rather than focusing on restriction or weight outcomes, this framework prioritises supporting the body first, allowing lymphatic function to improve and symptoms to be better managed over time.

This is not a weight loss diet, but weight loss can happen, as you can see in the images, I lost almost 2 kg in 6 weeks without doing anything different.
It is a lymphatic-supportive, physiology-led nutritional framework designed for complex bodies.

Traditional diet models often rely on restriction, discipline and control — approaches that can increase physiological stress, inflammation and hormonal disruption. For individuals with lipoedema, these factors are known to worsen symptoms and compromise lymphatic function.

The Average Diet™ takes a different approach.

Rather than focusing on weight or willpower, this framework prioritises organ wellness, with particular emphasis on:

• Liver function and detoxification pathways
• gut integrity and inflammatory load
• hormonal balance
• bowel management
• lymphatic flow and fluid regulation

By supporting the systems that regulate inflammation, metabolism and tissue health, The Average Diet™ is designed to promote long-term regulation, not short-term outcomes.

This approach allows the body to stabilise, improves lymphatic efficiency, and supports better symptom management over time.

1. When organs are supported, the body no longer needs to fight itself.  
2. Designed for Lipoedema. Built for Lymphatic Health.  
3. A nutrition framework for bodies that need regulation, not restriction.  
4. Supporting the systems that support you.

Patient FAQ

What is The Average Diet™?

 The Average Diet™ is a physiology-led nutritional framework designed to support lipoedema and lymphatic system health.
It focuses on organ and lymphatic support, rather than weight loss, restriction or calorie control.

 Is this a weight-loss diet?

 No.
The Average Diet™ is not a weight-loss diet and does not focus on body size, calorie restriction or discipline-based eating, but weight-loss can happen, as you can see in the images, I lost almost 2 kg in 6 weeks without doing anything different.

 It is designed to support systems involved in inflammation, fluid balance, hormonal regulation and lymphatic function.

 How is this different from traditional diets?

 Traditional diets often rely on restriction and rigid rules, which can increase stress and inflammatory load — particularly in people with lipoedema.

 The Average Diet™ focuses on supporting physiological function rather than controlling food intake.

 How does this support lipoedema?

 Lipoedema is associated with inflammation, lymphatic compromise and hormonal sensitivity.

 The Average Diet™ prioritises support for:

• Liver function and detoxification pathways
• gut integrity and inflammatory balance
• hormonal regulation
• bowel management
• lymphatic flow and fluid management

 This framework aims to support the body’s regulatory systems over time.

 Will I have to cut out foods or follow strict rules?

 No rigid food rules, extremes or punishment-based approaches are used.

 The focus is on nourishment and sustainability, tailored to support organ and lymphatic function.

 Is this suitable if I’ve tried many diets and nothing worked?

 Yes.
The Average Diet™ was designed for complex bodies that do not respond well to traditional dieting approaches.

 Can this be used alongside lymphatic therapy or medical care?

 Yes.
The Average Diet™ is designed to complement existing medical and lymphatic care, not replace it.

 Is this suitable before or after lipoedema surgery?

 The principles of The Average Diet™ align with supporting tissue health, inflammation control and lymphatic function, which may be beneficial before and after surgery.

 What is the goal of this program?

 The goal is regulation, not restriction.

 By supporting the organ and lymphatic systems, the program aims to create conditions that may assist symptom management and overall well-being.
