In an earlier blog I referenced an article I was surprised to find.
Why? — because it actually included some information that I partially agreed with. But, more importantly, it didn’t list a bunch of ideas that are out-and-out wrong — like so much of the stuff about weight loss that’s available on the Internet.
Now, that same author has published another article and I’m disappointed to say that I can’t make the same statement.
In fact of the “six dieting tips” listed, I only agree with one (#4). The rest are pure hogwash.
Some of the other tips are so familiar you might assume they’re valid. THEY ARE NOT!
Trust me. I’ve researched every one of this person’s tips and discovered NONE of them are based on any data. And, worse, some of these tips, if acted upon, actually cause more problems than they solve.
As I’ve said in previous blogs, we need to get real about weight loss — and the only way to do this is to start with the truths, rather than the misconceptions and bad advice that are so prevalent.
