The Top Diet Myths: Here is Your Chance To Learn the Truth:Why is it important to separate diet myths from diet facts?
They lose focus on what's important, become frustrated when the simple myth does not help them and just quit their weight loss plan. Almost no one believes that you can lose 30 lbs/month without dieting or that there is a pill that dissolves fat around thighs.

Some of the claims are based on "scientific" studies done years ago. The artificial sweeteners -cancer risk comes from a 1974 Italian study done on 12 female rats which could not be repeated.

Some readers will certainly question these conclusions. They are based on the best and most recent evidence from peer reviewed scientific studies by the most respected scientists in that field. It's important for most people trying to lose and then maintain their weight loss not to get bogged down in trivial matters that do not help them.

These are the reasons to question anyone advocating unproven or distracting weight loss concepts. It's about keeping things simple.
