....the internet is full of utter crud when it comes to diets! Except for this site ofc.
There is so much contradictory information and different opinions that it is hard to know what is right or wrong. I have decided to listen to none of it and listen to something called common sense.
Exercise regularly and don't eat junk...end of! THAT'S how you lose weight and keep fit!
My example today is...according to a site I found on the web, to lose weight you need to not eat complex carbs after 6pm and eat 40g of fibre...40g of fibre is almost impossible without supplements, and taking out carbs after 6pm makes it even harder! And what about people who work nights? 6pm is their breakfast, are they no longer allowed to eat carbs until they go back to bed?
Utter nonsense....I am going back to a normal common sense approach. Balanced diet ftw!! Who is with me?
Say yes to common sense :P

I didn't want to offend anyone on this site, so I thought I should add that this site is not poop, but you are correct, there is some rubbish on here too....but the positives outweigh the negatives with MPF! It's awesome0

Try this
cals in versus cals out
then you don't have to worry about what other people claim as biblical truth.0
