Dietary Fads – Super Science Fiction!
Current popular weight loss diets promote eating practices that encourage high protein intakes and extremely low carbohydrate intakes, and claim “carbohydrates make you fat”. These diets insist that carbohydrates trigger the release of insulin, which in turn stores fat and causes weight gain. To the average consumer, these explanations sound like exciting scientific discoveries. To those trained in nutrition, it’s more like “science fiction”! This popular workshop breaks down the popular fad diets, shows you why they work, who they are targeted too and why they are not the healthiest way to lose weight.

There is nothing magical about maintaining or attaining a healthy weight. Learn how to analyze your lifestyle and determine the changes you need to make with your energy balance (nutrition and physical activity) to maintain a healthy weight.
