PRINCE GEORGE – It’s easy to get caught up in the million and one fad diets that are out there right now, one super popular one at the moment is Keto. “Ketogenic” is a term for a low-carb diet. The idea is for you to get more calories from protein and fat and less from carbohydrates.
“When it comes to fad diet, I mean there are so many out there and they are always changing, even as a dietitian its hard to keep on top of whats going on in the fad diet world,” says Angela Hubbard, Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Educator “But, really the research is showing that pretty much any diet that you follow can get you results. Now the problem here is consistency and so when we are talking about something like keto, for example, it’s really hard. I don’t care what anyone tells you. You know I have worked with people, who say hey, half my office is getting results with keto and that may be true, but is it going to be long-term.”
Also, there are many people who use diet or food tracking apps. Angela says those are number-based and not flexible for the individual. Finally, THROW YOUR SCALE AWAY…. Don’t let it define your weight loss journey. Angela says, there are other things to focus on when trying to lose weight.
” So, these tracking apps, there are some really great ones, but we have to pay attention to the fact that these apps are very numbers-based, and that sets us up for just paying attention to just the number on the scale, which doesn’t mean health.”
