Another worthless list of weight-loss tips

March 4, 2008 in Weight Loss Myths by Allen | No comments

I just read a blog by which summarizes “all the best weight-loss tips in a single post.”

The promise:

“These tips are going to be really big weight loss tips. They will surely help you in getting weight off.”

HOGWASH

There are 15 of these “big weight loss tips” and there is only one which is any good — “shut off TV while eating.”

Now the reason given for why this tip is a good one is all wrong but at least the advice is good.

The other 14 tips are pure nonsense. Here are the worst of the bunch:

* Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water every day
* Eat “negative calories foods”
* Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day
* Take vitamins to increase your metabolism
* Eat green tea via a drink, a pill or a weight-loss patch

No wonder the incidence of overweight and obesity is going up.
