Nutrition trends and fads since 1986. Presented by Catherine Saxelby, APD
For over thirty years Catherine has been helping consumers distinguish good nutrition from nutribabble. Nutrition fads and trends will be with us forever. We need to keep up with the most recent trends and be able to provide a voice of reason. In her presentation Catherine describes:
- Diet fads over the years: from Atkins to Keto
- The big trends in nutrition such as the notion of “superfoods” and meatless eating
- The trend away from fats and towards carbs
- The rise of the unqualified celebrity nutritionist
- Comparisons between detoxing, clean eating and meal replacement shakes
