Are these statements true?

Nope. So long as you're eating at a calorie deficit, you will lose weight. No foods or ingredients magically stop that from happening.

No...and honestly, there are tons of yogurt out there with nothing added. I eat 0% Fage Greek yogurt...it has no sugar or HFCS or any other additive and it has live cultures.

My whole wheat bread does not have HFCS either...preservatives like sodium don't get stored as fat either.

I don't eat cereal bars mostly because I've never seen the point.

Most trainers aren't experts on nutrition and just tout whatever the latest woo is. They are specialized in exercise and fitness, not nutrition.

This guy sounds like he's fresh out of the woo machine...

wow...yah no. I just ate 100gram of skyr yogurt for 10 grams of protein and 90 calories...awesomeness

All that matters for weight loss is a calorie deficit. What you eat matters for nutrition, satiety, health, and other matters. But if you're eating (picks number at random) 1400 calories to lose 1lb/week, it makes no difference for weight loss purposes whether those calories come from yogurt cheese mixed with crumbled cereal bar and eaten in a sandwich on whole wheat bread or PB&J, lean turkey, deli cold cuts, egg salad... you get the picture.

That being said, a 200-calorie cereal bar might leave you feeling less full than a 200-calorie fruit salad. Or it might not. Satiety is pretty individual.

Six days a week, my go-to breakfast is Greek yogurt over grapes with a granola bar crumbled on top. Depending on the bar, it's about 310-325 calories. I've dropped 90 lbs in a year.

Also, there is nothing you can eat that will make your tummy flatten. Where the weight comes off first is mostly genetics/luck of the draw. You can do strength training to preserve your abdominal muscle so that when the fat comes off, what's underneath will look fit. But there's no way to spot-reduce fat.

ETA: If your body "can't recognize certain ingredients," it excretes them. Gourmet chefs sometimes put gold dust on chocolate pudding to make it look fancy. THAT is an ingredient your body can't recognize... but it doesn't store it as fat. It just sends it out with the rest of the waste. The only thing your body will store as fat is a surplus of calories, no matter what food they come from.

It all depends on the brand. I don't eat cereal bars because most of them have very little nutritional value (as in the specific macros I'm looking for to be clear). I'd rather eat a protein bar. I like yogurt but don't buy it often, and when I do I buy the more natural versions of greek or light greek yogurt. As far as bread I stick to whole grain lower calorie stuff. It's all a choice though, eat what you want. The only reason to change what you eat is if it's not giving you the specific nutrients you want in your diet.

I eat all those things... I'm losing weight O.O

I think it depends on allergies. I have a coworker that's allergic to eggs so for her eggs are "unhealthy".
I find I have a bad reaction to products containing copious amounts of HFCS so I try to avoid it. But I'm not gonna jump down someone's throat if they want to consume those things. That's up to them.

Complete and utter horse manure. And that's putting it nicely.
