15 Dangerous Things Nutritionists NEVER Eat – And Neither Should You
If you want to be successful, look up to successful people and try to walk in their shoes.

So what can you? It’s easy: start by eliminating the most dangerous foods nutritionists never eat.
Today, we’ll have an inside look at some of the top nutrition experts’ recommendations as to what you should cut from your diet immediately, as well as their substitutes.

Artificial sweeteners
Sugar – one of the most feared enemies of the 21st century. Delicious as it may be, this ingredient slowly, but surely, increase your risk for chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease or blood circulation problems. This is the main reason why more and more people are turning to artificial sweeteners – but are they really as healthy as they seem?
Chelsey Amer, RD and nutritionist, says no.
Firstly, she explains that there’s just not enough scientific evidence supporting the theory that artificial sweeteners are healthier than the actual sugar. In fact, many studies proved that consuming beverages labeled with words like ‘diet’ or ‘sugar-free’ can counter-intuitively lead to unhealthy weight gain.
Amer says that she prefers to satisfy her sweet tooth by consuming smaller portions of foods with ‘the real deal,’ which is actual sugar.
