From dating horror stories to videos of washing horses’ hooves to tutorials on the best way to make homemade slime, there’s almost nothing you can’t find on social media — and diet advice and weight-loss tips are no exceptions.

Social media channels abound with diet advice and promote trends that promise miracle weight loss. Unfortunately, this often comes from people who are not registered dietitians or nutritionists and who don’t have all the facts.

The best way to learn about diet and nutrition isn’t to turn to social media. Your primary care provider or a nutritionist can help you create a personalized diet plan that best suits your needs. Schedule an appointment with your primary care provider or a nutritionist at Chester County Hospital.
