    2) that there are such things as evil foods

    That artificial sweetener is perfectly fine, or good for you as some think.
    This!!! Anything with the name "artificial" should really throw up red flags! I'll stick to my real sugar, thanks. I eat it, count it, and move on.

    I think the myth is that "anything artificial should throw up red flags" - rather than artificial sweeteners not being perfectly fine (for most people who don't have allergies etc - just like all food substances)

    That's called common sense actually. Anything we create the body hasn't gotten used to over millions of years and we really only know what we know so far, which isn't much other than you probably aren't going to keel over at least during the amount of time the study went for...but probably its fine...probably...

    ^ sorry, what is common sense actually? Not quite sure what you are saying?

    My body isn't going to be here for millions of years so I don't think that concerns me. If artificial sweeteners aren't going to do anything to my body in the next half century ( and that is being optimistic) then I think I'm ok.

    Seriously, I really don't think it is a myth that they are ok - they really are ok.

    "Walking is the Best Exercise"...

    I say this with this disclaimer... Yes, I did lose most of my 100+ lbs by walking... on a 15% incline... Walking CAN be good exercise but it must be brisk and/or strenuous (incline or weighted)... Resistance... Something that makes it harder and increases the heart rate... Too many sort of lackadaisically amble on and count that as a vigorous exercise and wonder why they are not losing weight... Don't get me wrong ... any movement is better than no movement... However, to say that walking is better than other more strenuous exercises (when the individual is capable of safely doing more), would be a misstatement.

    true , but if youre strolling is replacing the walk to the fridge :D i think eventually most "walkers" end up pushing themselves farther .. walking is a simple jumpin off point .

    ok. so ive posted in response on here before

    1.slim paleo shake south beach atkins hollywood gluten -- all elimination diets basicallly are the wunderkind.. this year it seems to be paleo- next year something else...

    2. 3500 calorie deficit to lose 1 lb ... oh gods this one pisses me off, its flawed math, has been proven to be flawed math , but ever single diet exercise place (yes even mfp) bases its formulas on it

    3. kind of gets back to #1 . the magic pill drop bar wrap cure...

    as so many others have said I will reiterate- you dont get fat overnight, or in 30 days ... its not gonna come off that easy.

    Aspartame has been around for millions of years and is part of the normal diet. It's contained in any protein you eat.

    Like artificial hearts. Much less healthy than real hearts.
