A behind-the-scenes look at someone else's food diary can be inspiring, but it oversimplifies the many determinants involved in weight management.By now, you’ve probably landed on a"what I eat in a day" video on of your social feeds, which, as the name implies, involves a wellness influencer sharing a video account of their daily menu. These video food diaries are incredibly popular on visual platforms, likeand Instagram, and understandably so.
It’s natural to want a behind-the-scenes look at the eating routines of people you look up to. However, there’s a big difference between an influencer and an expert. Think about it like this: Would you want to learn how to fly a plane from someone who has logged a million miles as a passenger or from someone who has logged those miles as a pilot? It sounds like an absurd question but placing your trust in someone inexperienced is also misguided.
Helping a person make dietary changes involves a deep understanding of nutrition and human behavior and requires specific and ongoing training. An influencer's job is to share what worked for them, but a dietitian’s job is to share what will work for you. An expert is skilled in analyzing evidence and putting that into practice with people.
I love that this article promotes NOT looking at “what I eat in a day” content yet promoted a related article about what Lizzo eats in a day 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😒😒
