Clearing Up The Weight Loss Confusion

Want to lose weight? Just follow these easy to follow tidbits of advice that I have found in my travels around the world (wide web, that is.). 

And good luck!

The best way to lose weight is a low fat diet.
Low fat and fat free are bad for you because the manufacturer just bumps up the sugar.
Buy full fat products.
Drink skim milk.
Don't drink skim milk, it's a byproduct that is marketed as a "health product".
Don't eat or drink dairy at all.
Drink Almond milk.
Drink rice milk.
Drink coconut milk.
Women shouldn't lift weights too much or they will get bulky.
The power of weight training cannot be underestimated.
Muscle burns more calories at a consistent pace throughout the day.
If it's not gluten free, it's not worth eating.
Whole grains are good for your body.
Replace dairy and meats with soy.
Don't eat soy, the estrogen content is much too high.
Eat lots of coconut oil, it's great for you.
Tropical oils, including coconut oil are high in saturated fat and should be avoided.
Don't eat processed meats.
Eat turkey bacon.
Don't eat gluten.
Avoid carbs like the plague.
A balanced diet includes a protein, carb and veggie at every meal.
You can replace almost all your carbs with cauliflower.
Butter is terrible. Buy non-hydrogenated margarine instead.
Margarine is even worse, avoid margarine.
Paleo.
Raw.
Vegan.
Vegetarian.
Do a cleanse regularly.
If you're not drinking smoothies, you're not doing it right.
Weigh yourself every day so you can keep better track.
Don't weight yourself every day, it's not accurate, and it's depressing.
None of the veggies matter quite as much as kale. Eat it in everything.
Eat lots of oatmeal.
Replace your oatmeal with quinoa.
Agave is a great sugar substitute.
New studies show that agave may not be good for you after all.
Most cleanses are useless.
Now excuse me while I go cry in frustration over a pan of gluten free, sugar free black bean brownies. LOL, just kidding. I mean Ghirardelli triple dark chocolate brownies :)
