Ask a Dietitian: Do CHEF classes promote fad diets?

 

Did you know that millions of Americans each year fall prey to “fad” diets promising weight loss or better health. Conflicting claims, testimonials, and so called “experts” can confuse even the most educated consumer. The bottom line is simple, if a diet or product sounds too good to be true, it probably is a fad diet. The CHEF program is based on sound medical principles which consider the latest scientific studies, recommendations by medical and scientific organizations, and is coordinated by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, registered dietitians, trained nutritionists, and Chefs.
