Weight Loss Guider

Nutrition and health science is constantly evolving, and it often seems as if the latest study contradicts earlier ones. It's hard to know what to believe. But, over the last few decades, a wide array of independent studies has tended to confirm some conclusions about the relationship between excess body fat and associated health risks.

In nutrition circles, one often hears "eat fiber, it's good for you". But fiber is a carbohydrate and those are supposed to be bad, or at least severely limited. What gives?

Diets, especially those that focus on weight loss, often concentrate on what to eat. But fluids are a major part of any healthy, balanced diet as well. Runners know this well, but the same guidelines apply to anyone interested in optimal health.

Apart from discussions of the environment, there is nowhere that junk science is more common than in issues surrounding weight loss - nutrition and diet, exercise and health topics in general.

Few commercialized areas of science are so filled with myths as that focused on weight loss. Everyone wants a simple, safe, no-willpower solution. Someday, we may actually get one. For now there are no magic cures. But there are quite a few myths that need to be exploded.
