It is so easy to get caught up trend-based health claims which not only are likely to fail but can hurt your health in the long term.
There are many celebrities claiming to know what is the best way to eat to lose weight, be optimally fit and healthy, or gain muscle. It is unfortunate that most of these professionals do not have qualifications to be giving advice.
An Accredited Practising Dietitian is the only person qualified to give individual advice on healthy eating. The difference between a Dietitian and a Nutritionist is a Nutritionist is able to give populations advice on ways to eat. Celebrity chefs, personal trainers, models and actors are not qualified based on this professional status.
So be research savvy and find out if a person is qualified to give the advice they are providing when reading articles and claims. It may benefit your health long term and the success of your goals if you ask an expert!
