New Year, New You, No Thank you!

In this section

As you know all too well, the New Year sparks a huge amount of interest in lifestyle and diet changes. The media, both online and off, tends to push this trend and we see a huge amount of incorrect information shared.

Please could you answer this short survey, based on your experiences this year with your patients, to help us shape what we put out into this space next year, to correct this misinformation and share some positive messages instead.

What have been the oddest / most worrying dietary claims you’ve heard from your patients this year or that you yourself have seen online or in the media? *

Is there a particular diet or advice that your patients have asked you about that seems to be trending? (This doesn’t have to be negatively, this could also be a positive trend - but please identify how you feel about it.) *

What have been your personal favourite social media accounts/ social media posts that have done really positive work in correcting misinformation with the general public this year? (If you could share links here that would be really helpful but if not, please share as much information as possible here so we can dig them out!) *

Do you think social media accounts that provide non evidence-based dietary advice, with no expertise, should be held accountable? *

Yes

Unsure

Would depend on the circumstances
