In 2026, we have more access to nutrition information than ever — apps, influencers, meal plans, supplements, and trends that change almost weekly. Yet somehow, many of us are still battling the same issues: stubborn weight, low energy, gut problems, and the struggle to stay consistent with healthy eating. So what are we still getting wrong? Today, we unpack the biggest diet and nutrition mistakes people continue to make in 2026, what hasn’t changed, what’s actually making things worse, and what we may need to rethink altogether when it comes to how we eat. We’re joined in studio by Mbali Mapholi, clinical and consultant dietician in private practice, to break it all down.
