Today, we’re going to talk about reliability and credibility when trying to find health information or weight loss information. How does someone really know when the information they’re getting is trusted, credible, and reliable?
What makes something credible? Is it the studies that back it up? Many people don’t read the actual study and rely on secondhand information. There can also be a lot of manipulation and bias in the area of research. Testimonials, especially with pictures or videos, can be credible. Reviews can be faked, but if one product has a lot of reviews, it may be more credible than one with fewer reviews.
Whatever is touted as the most reliable and credible information, especially if it’s mainstream, I typically look in the opposite direction. When you evaluate something, you have to look at the information yourself. You have to ask yourself if the information makes sense and differentiate fact and opinion.
Many people do a search online, and they pick whatever comes up first as the most credible or reliable source. But, relying on sources like the first few pages of Google to find weight loss information can be misleading.
For example, I actually googled “the best way to lose weight,” and I picked the first result that came up. Then, I ordered their weight loss book. Today, we’re going to go through and evaluate the information in this book.
I found this book to be very misleading. There were many things I disagreed with in the book. At one point, they basically say you should lose weight to improve your health. I believe it’s best to first improve your health so you can then lose weight.
The book we went through gives you a lot of information with some true information and some false information. But, they don’t give you the most important information. I believe the most important thing you can do is base your whole diet on keeping your insulin low.
