Red Flags of Fad Diets
- Be wary of fad diets promoted by non-professionals lacking medical backing.
- Look out for red flags like cutting out food groups, before-and-after photos, and set timeframes.
Essential Nutrients
- Prioritize protein, fiber, and colorful fruits and vegetables in your diet.
- Aim for two servings of fruit and five servings of vegetables daily.
Calories vs. Nutrients
- Calories are not created equal; 100 calories of chocolate affects the body differently than 100 calories of nuts.
- Focus on nutrient density and satiety rather than solely on calorie counting.
