Are you participating in good nutrition or a "fad" diet?
Good nutrition is a lifestyle not a temporary change; good nutrition also does not put limitations on the types of foods you consume; other than limiting foods of poor nutritional value.
Signs you may be on a "fad" diet:
-Recommendations that promise a quick fix
-Dire warnings of dangers from a single product or regimen
-Claims that sound too good to be true
-Simplistic conclusions drawn from a complex study
-Recommendations based on a single study
-Dramatic statements that are refuted by reputable scientific organizations
-Recommendations made to help sell a product/supplement
-Recommendations based on studies published without review by other researchers
-Recommendations from studies that ignore differences among individuals or groups
-Eliminated one or more of the five food groups
