The nutrition space is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate! Many people do not feel in tune with their internal cues of hunger and fullness, and feel it is safer to rely on external guidelines (such as following diets or nutrition influencers). This, however, deepens the mistrust in internal cues in the long run. So where do we go from here? It is time for a nutrition paradigm shift.

You would have noticed a lot of health influencers talking about superfoods like flax seeds and chia seeds; they are small in size but considered to have a lot of impact on your health.

Where Do We Take Our Nutritional Advice ?⏬ When it comes to weight management, whether you’re aiming to gain or lose weight, the first step is often seeking nutritional advice. But where do people commonly get this advice? And how reliable are these sources? The landscape of nutrition is vast, and while some people consult professionals, many turn to more easily accessible yet less informed channels such as social media influencers...⏬ Read more⏬ https://lnkd.in/eTEMuvQv #healthadvice #infuencers #food #nutrition #diet #health #bodybuilding

**I am no RD. If you are looking for expert diet/nutrition advice, consult one. There is no one else I would list as an expert in nutrition than an RD. Anyone who is not an RD (often a PhD) is not an expert in nutrition. This isn’t to say you can’t get good advice from other, but you should beware of what everyone who is not an RD is telling you regarding your nutrition, including me. There are nuances that are missed by non-experts that would otherwise be noticed by an RD.** That said, there are some basic principles that virtually anyone will be able to adopt and do well with. Generally speaking, you should be eating real food. But, I wouldn’t stress on the “processed” buzzwords thrown around by the latest social media influencers. Most of our food has some level of processing. Still, eating real food (meats, vegetables, fruit) is a very good idea. The idea of trading “bags for barcodes” comes from choosing real foods vs. boxed items that tend to be less nutritious. Sticking to the outside isles of the store is probably where you’ll find your food.

It’s the wild west when it comes to weight loss advice on social media. Influencers will tell you certain foods are “bad” and must be avoided while others will use managing your cortisol levels or avoiding insulin spikes as the key to losing weight🙄 If you want to lose weight and actually keep the weight off, you need to learn how to include all foods you enjoy while being in a calorie deficit. A calorie deficit is the only way to lose weight. Prioritizing your daily protein and fiber intake will help make your calorie deficit sustainable. Hope this helps✌️ #nutrition #nutritioncoach #weightloss

Have you tried this for weight loss? Caloric deficit remains the necessary condition for weight and fat loss, regardless of diet composition. *Any extra weight you lose cutting carbs, compared to the same calorie intake from a high carb diet is just water weight. This is not an opinion this is science. Are you sick and tired of influencers spreading misinformation on social media?

🛑 Beware of Scam Products on Social Media! 🛑 Growing up, before I became involved in the sports nutrition industry, I remember my mother often finding products on Facebook or through referrals from friends. These products promised miraculous results just from taking a pill or a powder. My mother, dedicated to fitness and even a vegan for the longest time, lacked knowledge about supplementation. She was often misled by these products, and I found myself seeing these crazy claims time and time again. Just yesterday, my mother sent me a nootropic powder asking my opinion. This product was claiming to replace daily coffee, and was made up of two proprietary blends. Interestingly, the combined dosage of these blends equaled just one clinically effective dose of a single ingredient in their "15 ingredient focus blend." This isn't the first time I've seen such products. Misinformation and trending supplements on platforms like TikTok are rampant. Many products I encounter on my TikTok For You page are underdosed, proprietary-blended, and ridiculously priced. These products exploit those with little to no knowledge about supplements, dosages, and the realistic benefits achievable from them. They often lure consumers with unachievable promises or even quirky, cool flavors—which, in my opinion, should be the last priority when it comes to, say, a pre-workout. This is precisely why I do what I do: to educate and protect people from falling for these scams. (Which I fell for a bunch of times as a teenager) What are some of the products you've seen on TikTok, Facebook, or even Google ads that you think are scams? Let's discuss and spread awareness! #scams #supplements #education #conversation #getbiginthe973
