Great post. I see the mistakes I did when I first started dieting at 17 and was pleased to see I don't make any of them now.
All dietiers should read this.
I loved the exercise bit-amazing that some people believe it when they are told they will burn 500-600 calories in a gym class. Studies have shown for body pump it's not 500-600 as claimed but 250-300 for the average women. Don't believe what they tell you and UNDERESTIMATE the exerice calories0 -
BUMP

I agree with this... especially if you don't have an HRM. Even the machines (elliptical, treadmill, bike, etc.) overestimate.0 -

Those were great (and practical) tips! I'm already following most of that advice, but I'm probably guilty of 'over-fruiting', but I'm not going to worry about that too much, because I always stay within my calorie goal.0

I saving this to read again and again. Great advice.:happy:0

Bumping..Thanks for posting this. I've been doing some of these "mistakes" recently. Good article to read over and over again0

I love the one about fruit, since a lot of people misunderstand eating fruit to be a free for all! Possibly because on weight watchers, I hear fruit is 0 points... but that sugar/calories adds up!0

I have been making some of these same mistakes...I printed this and I'm going to make some copies to post in places where I need a reminder.0

This is from Dr. Joseph Mercola's website (MERCOLA.COM), one of the nation's top advocates for wellness:
Consume no more than 15-to-20 grams of fructose per day (to allow hidden sugars in other foods), totaling no more than 25 grams per day, total, from ALL foods/drinks consumed.
You can find similar lists for vegetables, too - choosing vegetables wisely. Try to eat organic as much as possible!
