  • We will all continue to justify our own positions, whatever they may be, because we are motivated that way (like this http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/ulterior-motives/201107/you-end-believing-what-you-want-believe). It is a big challenge for us to majorly shift our beliefs, especially when it means giving up things we…

  • Ok, I'll bite. No, the idea of calories being the magic component to weight loss is not indisputable. All calories are not created equal. Our bodies recognise and need NUTRIENTS.
