What to believe?

Don't eat carbs.  Only eat high fiber carbs.  Eat only protein.  Don't drink milk.  Drink only full fat milk.  Eat 1500 calories a day.  Don't count calories.  Calories in=calories out.  Eat anything you want, in moderation.  Don't snack between meals.  Eat 6 mini-meals per day.  Avoid high fructose corn syrup.  Consuming artificial sweeteners helps with weight loss.  Stevia is the only natural artificial sweetener.  Artificial sweeteners increase your appetite.  Eat only low-fat protein sources.  Eat a lot of salmon.  Take a multi-vitamin.  Bread and pasta cause extra fat storage.  Use butter, not margarine.  Eat only good fats (i.e. nuts, avocados).  Don't drink coffee.  Caffeine speeds up your metabolism.  Caffeine makes you hungrier.  Take a cold shower to increase metabolism.  Use fat burner pills.  Fat burners give you jitters.  Eat 3 apples per day.  Apples have too much sugar in them.  Eat a high protein breakfast.  Don't eat until you are hungry.  Eat breakfast first thing in the morning.

Exercise 3-4 times a week.  Only do cardio for calorie burn.  Cardio is a waste of time.  Only do interval training.  Don't exercise because it makes you hungry.  Walking is the best exercise.  Lift weights to build muscle.  Muscle burns more calories.  Stretch before exercising.  Try Bikram yoga.  Aim for 10,000 steps a day.  You really don't need to exercise to lose weight.

Yikes!  I'd love to lose a few pounds.... who wouldn't?  How are supposed to really know what to believe when it comes to weight loss and/or being healthy?
