I'm not even sure if this is where this goes, I apologize if it doesn't go here, and I usually do not start topics but I'm on a new kick :P anywho, I found an article on Yahoo! today that debunks 8 calorie burning myths!

Enjoy,

    I just read that and almost posted it too! Most of us probably already knew most of those though =)
  • Great article! Lots of things in there that were helpful =)

    Thanks for sharing! I've seen many forums on here talking about calories and I do believe that all calories are not created equal. Some have differing opinions, but I'm sticking to what I think ;)
  • As much as I'd like to see the benefit of articles like this. There's just too much false information that stands out. Misconceptions, over-sensationalized statistics, propaganda, and flat out information taken completely out of context.

    Don't believe everything the health & fitness section of Cosmo tells you! (or Woman's Day in this case). Here is an article debunking some false information written in this article about "all calories are created equal":

    Agreed. That was an interesting read. Sadly, we rarely see stuff explained like that here.
