I have already written about nutritionism and nutritionists. I would even say that it is my favorite topic. In previous articles I asked myself whether nutritionism is corrupted, what the future of nutritionism brings us, why you need a nutritionist, how to choose a good one, and which nutritionists are not that.
Did you know you can earn the nutrition certificate approved by Croatian Ministry of Science and Education by attending four months of weekend classes?
But why even bother, when you can call yourself a nutritionist without even starting primary school?
Now imagine if the same went for doctors, lawyers or pilots.
Research shows that people are exquisitely unsuccessful in predicting the future. Always have been. This hasn’t changed even with the insane amount and accessibility of information.
You know those statements that you know they’re simply wrong, but you’re aware they’re so easy to utter, yet to refute them you should invest at least twice as much time and energy? One of these is the absurdly reductive „Diet should be moderate and you should eat a bit of everything.“
Johnny says he doesn’t listen to nutritionists because they change their minds on a daily basis, as well as their advice. He says that everyone’s reaction to food is different anyway, so he knows what suits him best.
Today everyone thinks of themselves a football coach, chief of finance, and prime minister. Moreover, most are all in one.
In the first part of this short series I emphasized the need for an all-around definition of a healthy (proper) diet, and wrote about the consequences of the lack thereof. Today I’ll define healthy diet using the effective, qualitative, and practical definition.
Proper, healthy diet, is one of the most talked about things nowadays. Not a day goes by that we don’t read or hear about it on TV, radio or in magazines. However, judging by the content, most authors wouldn’t know its definition. The few that would don’t give a good enough one.
Terms healthy and proper diet are often interchanged freely. In practice, there’s no difference, but I’d like to write a few words on their meanings. Up until recently I avoided the term healthy and utilized the term proper, simply because I hadn’t completely made up my mind on what the definition of health should be. I still haven’t, but sometimes you need to compromise.
