Diet Myths That Won't Go Away

I want to share this AOL article because there are so many people that have trouble with these points. They list 10 myths on the website and explain each one of them. Here are there 10.

1. Myth: Calories eaten after 8PM turn to fat
2. Myth: To jump-start your diet, you should fast.
3. Myth: Low-carb (high protein) diets are the most effective route to weight loss.
4. Myth: Eating white foods is bad for you.
5. Myth: Drinking lots of water will help you lose weight.
6. Myth: When you're on a diet, drinking juice is a no-no.
7. Myth: All sugar is bad for you.
8. Myth: Exercising on an empty stomach burns more fat.
9. Myth: Drinking liquid meal replacements will help shrink your stomach.
10. Myth: Eating grapefruit will help you burn fat.

Suprised by some of the statements? Take a look at the article and learn more.
