Exploring Resolutions: Is this Tik Tok Diet legit?

Ahhhh, TikTok. The cause of, and solution to, much of the the world's problems :) For real though, the traction that fad diets can gain on TT is mind-blowing- we're talking like BILLIONS of views.

Never fear, Jeremy and Julie are here to break down the top trending diets on social media, sift through the trash, and give you the helpful, digestible bits that matter.

Topics in this episode include:

What's keto? How is it different than South Beach or Atkins?

Why many "keto" packaged foods have sweeteners added.

How to use examine.com- for evidence-based info about nutrition and supplement information.

What is the carnivore diet? What about the "lion diet"?

What is a "juice cleanse"?

How do "fad diets" promote weight cycling?

How carbs can be good for you!

In summation, the risks, benefits, and evidence of these diets!

Profile picture for Julie Bruene
Dr. Julie (Julia if we’re being formal, Julia Rose if she’s in trouble) Bruene is a sports medicine physician at Midwest Orthopaedics at RUSH, a renowned, nationally-ranked orthopedic practice in Chicago. She serves as a team physician for the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bulls, and DePaul University. Aside from her obvious interests in sports and medicine, she is a true crime obsessive and is a total sucker for rescued cats. She lives in Chicago with her husband and partner-in-crime, Adam, and with several of the aforementioned rescued cats. We don’t need to get into specifics about the exact number here. She likes when people are kind to one another and when animals dress up like other animals. Rock over London, rock on Chicago.
