About
Welcome to Nutrition Basics! Thank you for visiting my site. I try my best to offer easy to follow strategies to help people improve their healthy and to help them make sense of the sometimes confusing and mostly contradictory information that comes out of the diet and health industry.
My Goal
My goal is to teach people a basic understanding of nutrition so they are much less inclined to jump on the latest and greatest idea coming from the diet industry. By educating people, they can identify marketing fluff when they see it and hopefully (please, oh please) stop dieting and obsessing about food.
Please take a moment to browse through the site and, if you feel so inclined, make visiting a regular habit by subscribing to the RSS feed in the upper right hand corner of this blog. You can also follow me on twitter.
