Gutsy Wellness Dietitian

This is a poorly written article and unfortunate that the authors are trying to tear down dietitians. No one and no profession is perfect but this profession is the most educated on the topic and we are not brainwashed or paid off by corporations. There’s plenty of unqualified people spreading misinformation and fear mongering from “influencers” and even other health care providers. This kind of article will just further that.

General Mills, maker of Cocoa Puffs and Lucky Charms cereals, has launched a multi-pronged campaign that capitalizes on the teachings of the anti-diet movement.

Happy Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day to all my fellow RDs! 😊

Watching a webinar and this is one of the sections. It’s crazy we have SO much misinformation out there for a myriad of nutrition topics.

Remember to avoid medical/health advice from non medical professionals.
Having a fit looking body doesn’t give you credibility. Neither does a Google search or a quick nutrition class.

Beware of people who fear monger or make blanket statements.

Look for red flags like referring to “chemical” food ingredients, demonizing a whole food group, talking about “good” vs “bad” foods, making “detox” claims, focusing on weight, using words like “skinny” to describe foods, etc.

A lot of these things can lead to disordered eating & bad relationships with food, which IS unhealthy.
