There’s a lot of nutrition advice floating around online. Is all of it reliable? 🕵️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You'll want to save this post 🔥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like most things involving the internet, you can’t always trust what you read. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are 5 popular nutrition myths, debunked:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Apple cider vinegar isn’t the magical health remedy it’s been made out to be — there is very little evidence to suggest that it has any benefits for healthy individuals. Plus, it can negatively impact your throat and dental health 🪥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lemon water is refreshing, and it’s a great way to make upping your H2O intake more exciting. Claims that it helps you lose weight or speeds up your metabolism, however, are false 🍋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don’t have to avoid carbs like the plague — you need carbohydrates to keep you fuelled and energized throughout the day!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Detox diets are wildly popular, but don’t believe the hype; a juice cleanse won’t clear “toxins” from your body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ever hear of “negative calorie foods,” or foods that supposedly take more calories to digest than they provide? As handy of a hack as that may be, it’s not based in any nutritional reality 🥒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Psst…”calories” isn’t a bad word 🤫​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Calories, or the amount of energy in a given food, are what keep us going through workouts and every other part of our lives!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
A healthy daily caloric intake will depend on whether you want to lose, gain, or maintain your weight, as well as number of other factors including activity level 💪​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Keep in mind that a food’s “healthiness” isn’t determined by calories alone. A given food might be high in calories, but also high in other important nutritional components like protein or fibre. On the flip side, a low-calorie food may not be the most nutritious option 🍔​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
At the end of the day, there is no one size fits all nutrition advice — that’s why I’ve created four separate fitness and nutrition programs that are designed to be tailor-made to your specific needs.​​​​​​​​
