Common Food Myths Dispelled

I've learned a lot on my weight loss journey and no one piece of knowledge stands out for me as THE most important lesson except this ... EDUCATE yourself. There are a lot of commonly held beliefs out there that have no basis in fact AT ALL but people believe them because someone they trust, told them so ... because someone told THEM ... I just came across the following list/slideshow and while I am not usually impressed by these so called myth buster slide shows, THIS one is different. Every single slide/myth has been fact checked and represents something I have learned or relearned during my own weight loss journey and ALL, are things I consider important and incorporate every single day into my own daily diet plan.

I WAS going to put up a post today on the benefits and pleasure of using REAL food in your diet as opposed to tasteless unsatisfying fake or heavily modified diet food but this slide show changed my mind. There was just too much good advice in there for me not to post it. Dieting should not be about denying yourself the pleasure of real, good food .. it should be about learning to identify real food as opposed to manufactured food and how to eat those real foods, which can sometimes be calorie dense, and still maintain or lose weight safely.  If you follow the advice and tips on these 2 list/slideshow links, you will be half way there. NOTE: The slideshow link contains most, but not all of the same myths debunked as in the first link, they are just in a slideshow format with captions.
