Does a certain diet sound too good to be true? This program will help you recognize a fad diet and how to make the healthiest dietary choice of all; a balanced lifestyle!

Fad diets are popular weight-loss plans that promise fast, dramatic results through strict, restrictive rules but lack long-term scientific backing and sustainability.

Hackensack Meridian Health offers an extensive catalog of well-organized and diversified health programs aimed at promoting wellness and disease prevention.
