Just a funny reminder that too often we are taking diet advice from someone who we should not be…
Yes, it is okay to take diet recommendations from a doctor who has studied the human body in depth. Be careful when taking diet advice from a personal trainer or fitness instructor who often have little to no nutrition education. These exercise specialists are sometimes just telling you what they do that works for them or rattling off a diet plan they use for everyone. The best thing about consulting with a dietitian is that we are the highest level of experts in food and nutrition and have to go through a very extensive educational process to become Registered Dietitians. These are not easy credentials to earn! I frequently see on Instagram people giving diet advice who have NO training or education in the field. Seek education on diets before you follow them!! It’s your health and life you put at risk when you are not educating yourself on where the information is coming from, chose reliable sources! Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox now…. Happy Friday!!
