Fact vs. Fiction

What are your favorite sites for LEGITIMATE information? I'm not a big fan of "my friend so-and-so says xxxxxxx."

I've found countless pieces of great information here... I hope you do as well!

I like the articles on trainer Leigh Peele's website. She has lots of information that is well-researched and just plain common sense--like it says at the top!

I don't have one but I do get fed up with people on here who present their opinions or someone else's as fact. The same goes for those who are convinced that because a particular way of doing something worked for them it will do the same for everyone else.

You didn't specify weight loss / health / fitness, so I'd say http://www.snopes.com is my favorite.

Weeds out correct scientific method from the headlines leapt on by the media and educates you on how to tell the difference.

First stop shop for medical research. Loads of nutrition and fitness stuff on there.

Can always count on you Joe.

thank you i have booked marked them all .

^^^Yes, what she said.^^^ I have bookmarked them all as well. Lot's of good information.

I always tell my kids to learn from their mistakes and to compound that by learning from others mistakes as well as others sucesses. A week ago, I decided to start following people who actively participate here and have done (or, are doing) what I want to do. I'm pretty stoked about what I have learned since then. The mis-information that is out there is absolutely mind-boggling. I have fought being overweight for 43 years. Those days are now behind me. Knowledge is power!
