By: Julia Dugas, Dietetic InternThe New Year is right around the corner and you know what that means, fad diets. It’s great that people are motivated at the beginning of the year to get healthy, but many plans found online are not good for your health. There are hundreds of fad diets out there that may show results in the short term, but the requirement of food group elimination and calorie restriction means they are not sustainable. You should know how to spot a fad diet when you see one and look the other way.
Fad diets can be hard to spot, but really think about what you’re reading when you research nutrition information. Try reading blogs written by registered dietitians if you want some motivation for the upcoming year. Having a healthy and balanced diet isn’t as hard as it seems.
