When it comes to nutrition information, the internet is overflowing with a whole lot of junk! GCP nutrition clients constantly mention that “there is too much information” and they “don’t know what to believe anymore”. And we agree; it’s overwhelming! So here is a very short – but hopefully helpful – list of reputable websites that you can turn to when you have questions relating to nutrition.
Of course, the other option is to shoot an email through to GCP dietitian Hannah (hannah@gcpfitness.com) and we’d love to write a blog post to answer your question, because we guarantee you won’t be the only one with that query!
