Some Cold Hard Facts about Dieting

I just happened to stumble upon this website, intense-workout.com and was a bit shocked to read the following proclamations from the author. Check this out:

• There is no best weight loss program
• You can NOT turn fat into muscle
• Fast weight loss – you can’t lose weight fast
• There are no weight loss secrets
• Muscle soreness is not and indicator of a good workout
• Diet Tips and Fitness tips are stupid
• Your post workout meal is pretty important

I am not sure I agree with all of the points here. But the ‘shock’ factor of his points does make me think of and bring up something which occurred to me from reading his points.

And that is that we as a society are inundated with constant flows of information from the media, internet and other people about the right way and wrong way of doing things. Whether it be dieting and exercise or how to grow your investments for a good retirement, the amount and speed of information flow from multiple sources can be mind boggling at times.

So I guess the point I am trying to make is be careful before you assume any advice is good advice when it comes to your diet and exercise program.  There are great programs out there for dieting and health and wellness, but not all are created alike and not all are necessarily designed with YOUR best interests in mind.

So there is my little public service message, but I will leave it up to you to decide if the points made be the author above are all valid
