Welcome
2024 seems to have started off with lots of misinformation and diet fads. I've started a new series on Instagram busting these fad diet myths. These fad diets are so harmful! It can be even harder when people who are medical doctors, have a PhD or have a biochemistry degree are pushing these. Remember though that a dietitian is the only legally protected nutrition professional.
Anyone who is selling a cure-all pill or emphasising a single ingredient or diet should be steered clear of, regardless of their background.
There's no one perfect diet for everyone. However, with a bit of space for nuance, a well-balanced diet contains lots of the same basic ingredients. Things like fruit and veg, wholegrains, legumes, nuts and seeds, meat, fish, dairy and eggs (or plant based alternatives) are all more important than any "superfood" or proprietary blend.
Stick to that middle path rather than any dietary extremes and unfollow anyone who spouts out rubbish!
I'd love you to tell me any fads you see circulating so I can call them out and stay on top of the trends.
Sending common sense hugs,

With all the misinformation that's around, diets easy to fall into the fad and chronic dieting cycle. And remember, diets that sound too good probably are!

The Recovery Tribe Email Food Freedom and Eating Disorder Recovery Tips Eating Disorder recovery can be super tought and it takes time... which can mean a lot of support is needed and that can be expensive and isolating.

The Recovery Tribe Food Freedom Fighters and Eating Disorder Recovery. Community, it's a bit of a buzz word I know but it is also so very key.
