Diet supplements: Are there any supplements I should take? Dietitian’s review of supplements.

If a diet out there was able to deliver on their promises of "fast, safe, sustainable and simple" weight loss, then believe me - dietitians would be right on it! With national obesity levels at an all-time high, we can safely say that our obesity crisis is in need of a quick fix solution! But weight loss unfortunately is not that easy. It involves a complex dance of calories, nutrition and psychology, in proportions that vary for each and every one of us. No single diet is going to work for everyone - and some diets will work for no-one. But that doesn't stop a vast array of diet cultures claiming they are "the one". So in today’s video, let's take a brief look at some of the more popular fad diets out there, and review what the fuss is all about.
