Say it with me, everyone, for some reminders of dietary truths beyond the latest TikTok trends:
- Eating patterns need to be individualized.
- There is no one-size-fits-all diet.
- Your weight is not the equivalent of your health.
- Diets need to be sustainable long term.
- Eat a wide variety of nutrient-dense foods you enjoy.
- It’s complicated, but calories play the largest role in weight management.
