There’s always a new “must-do” in the wellness world.
From intermittent fasting to juice cleanses to calorie counting — it can get overwhelming fast.
Here’s what I look at through a nutrition lens:
• Protein-forward meals? Non-negotiable. Stabilizes energy, reduces cravings, supports muscle, and keeps blood sugar steady.
• Juice cleanses? Not sustainable. Most people need balanced meals, not liquid resets.
• Calorie counting? Often drains mental energy and disconnects people from their hunger cues. Quality > quantity.
• Intermittent fasting? Can be useful for some, but not a requirement — especially for women whose hormones and stress load need thoughtful implementation.
Instead of chasing trends, I encourage clients to ask:
👉 Does this support steady energy?👉 Is this sustainable in real life?👉 Does this improve my relationship with food?
Nutrition doesn’t need to be extreme to be effective.
Which nutrition trend have you personally tried — and did it actually work for you long term?
