Trending Topics Needed!

I am a dietetic student tasked with creating a blog focused on nutrition. I am looking for suggestions on trending topics people would like to know more about. Things that come to my mind include juicing cleanses, low carb/keto, and intermittent fasting. Any other recent trends people have heard about and would like to know more? Thanks!

Demystifying meal prepping. It’s really just cooking / prepping large batches and eating leftovers. Some people think it’s more complicated than it sounds…And the term sounds intimidating. That like you have to weigh your ingredients and cook every single thing from scratch or spend hours and hours slaving in the kitchen.

We are learning more and more that healthy eating is not just about the quality and quantity of what you eat, but that timing also matters:

Meal timing or tapering - where one eats most of their calories earlier in the day and gradually tapers as the day goes on. https://www.jomes.org/journal/view.html?doi=10.7570/jomes20065
Chrono nutrition - aligning food intake to periods of the day when circadian rhythms in metabolic processes are optimised for nutrition: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33222161/

Body recomposition is another popular topic.

The myth that you need to shop at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s to have a healthy diet. The myth that stores like Walmart don’t have any healthy food…I swear I saw a healthcare practitioner claim this on r/medicine the other day.🤦🏻‍♀️
