The only thing more daunting than embarking on a new, healthier lifestyle is trying to figure out what information you should believe. From day-time TV to Instagram personalities to the latest titles on The New York Times Best Sellers list, the amount of opinions available today can be overwhelming— especially to those new to the wellness game.
While any program or piece of advice that prompts you to make a positive change is valuable, consumers should approach any program with a skeptical eye. “If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” explains Andrea Miller, a registered dietitian. “One of the things I often tell people is don’t ever make sweeping changes to your diet based on a single study.” Of course, for the average person it can be hard to break through the noise and determine if a headline is based on a wealth of information or a poorly designed, f limsy study, which is why Miller recommends working in tandem with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian before implementing any major adjustments to your eating patterns or way of life.
