In fact, some of my top performing Pinterest posts are autism, parenting, and finance related. Sure, some of the recipes have done fairly well but I get more long term traffic from those first three categories.

If you, like me, are a skeptic about diets- I encourage you to keep reading on to the end of this paragraph.
