When publishing content about diet and nutrition, we are morally obligated to ensure that our content is characterized by expertise and authority. Here are our authenticity, accuracy and fact-checking processes:
Recipe Articles
Here is an example of how we built and tested over 500 recipes:
Find a delicious dessert
Identify the ingredients containing sugar and high-calorie content using FoodData Central by FDC.
Propose ideas for replacing unhealthy ingredients with natural alternatives.
Prepare the recipe
Taste the dish to ensure it closely resembles the original, if not identical. (Yes, all four of us taste-test each recipe before publishing).
If the healthy version is extremely similar to the original dish, publish the recipe; if not, continue to the next step.
Experiment with additional natural substitutes until a taste similar to the original recipe is achieved.
Replace your favorite dishes with our alternatives to dramatically decrease your sugar and calorie intake. Let us know how it goes at: [email protected]
Meal Plan Articles
Experience and Credibility
We understand the significance of publishing content related to meal plans and nutrition. To ensure that our nutrition articles adhere to the highest standards of credibility, authenticity, and expertise, we collaborate with experienced nutritionists like Karolina Peterova, Brenda Peralta and Kerly Cordova. As nutritionists, Karoline and Brenda bring their experience when creating and reviewing the diet and meal plans.
Fact-Checking
When it comes to the accuracy of figures, such as nutritional facts and daily calorie intake, we implement a second-round fact-checking process. This fact-checking step involves cross-referencing figures from the following sources:
We are deeply committed to adding value to each topic, ensuring our content provides unique insights and perspectives not readily available elsewhere. We follow a manual authenticity check before we publish an article.
Step 1: Investigate articles from the most credible authors on the topic
Step 2: Identify the additional value that our articles contribute
Step 3: Publish
That’s why we always ask our valued writers: ” What unique value will your content bring that doesn’t exist anywhere else?”
For Recipes: We prepare and document all the recipes our family studies here in Wayne, New Jersey, using ingredients from local stores and farms.
Use of AI (As Seen on Our Sister Sites)
At Diets Meal Plan, the use of AI is only allowed for
Grammatical improvements
Rephrasing long sentences to improve the readability of the articles.
Simply put, we use AI to improve our content’s readability and grammatical accuracy rather than producing it.
We understand the importance of authenticity and credibility; hence, we ensure that all the authors who join our team have the experience and expertise necessary for the category for which they are hired to write articles. Our authors are subject matter experts with fair reputations in their fields; hence, they are motivated to add value to their area. Although our editorial team employs multiple tools and manual processes to verify the use of AI, we understand that no tool guarantees 100% accuracy when detecting AI usage. So, how do we ensure AI use remains within our standards?
Enforcing behavior with well-defined process:
Identifying a writer’s style and consistency in writing.
Using premium AI-detection tools to check for AI-generated content.
Using plagiarism-detection tools to check for plagiarized content.
Manually reviewing the sources writers use to support the knowledge they present in their content.
Applying our editorial team’s expertise to fact-check the content manually.
