Research proved that you shouldn’t really trust fitness vloggers
A study by University of Glasgow found that just one out of nine leading UK bloggers giving weight loss advice actually provided accurate and trustworthy information.
“We found that the majority of the blogs could not be considered credible sources of weight management information, as they often presented opinion as fact and failed to meet UK nutritional criteria.
Lead author Christina Sabbagh
“This is potentially harmful, as these blogs reach such a wide audience.”
Uh-oh! Perhaps fitness and health advice is best left to the, er, professionals.
