Since Pete Evans, celebrities surely must await Dr Joanna McMillan’s response to their Day on a Plate in fear.
A popular health/food column in the Sydney Morning Herald, well-known faces record everything they eat in a typical day then submit it to the dietician for her expert verdict.
Lola Berry’s in Sunday’s edition may well be the best one since Evans’.
As a nutritionist, yoga teacher and author of new book Beauty Food, Berry’s daily menu is as healthy as you’d expect. There’s a lot of raw foods (including chocolate), activated almonds (raw, of course), activated charcoal in her “black detox smoothie”, a turmeric latte and “natural Nutella balls” that disappointingly, contain no Nutella at all. And that’s all by lunchtime.
She finishes the day at 8:45pm by “Writ[ing] tomorrow’s goals down before sleeping with crystals under my pillow.”
Dr McMillan’s response was simultaneously sassy and kind.

Lola Berry is a "nutritionist" herself (I believe) - she should know these things. My friend posted her diet on FB, there were a few "activated" items in her daily diet. I commented that it "activated my BS radar". I'm all for people eating healthy, but it seems so over the top and pretentious!
A nutritionist and a dietitian are not the same thing. Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. A dietitian has a minimum 4 year Batchelor Degree and is qualified to work in a hospital or clinical environment.
Why is this website constantly having a go at anyone who tries to eat healthy? In a world with so much sickness, obesity and depression, promoting healthy plant based diets would be great way of helping women. Instead you show us pictures of morbidly obese people and tell us that if we don't think they're beautiful, then we are fat shaming them and are basically evil people. Ridiculous
except that alkaline diet. There was no critique of that and that had holes you could drive a truck through!
