Nutrition Myths: Test Your Knowledge

More stupidity from the experts.

eDiets together with Harvard are on a killing rampage.

They clearly advocate impossible starvation dieting to cure what ails you.

Here is additional proof of their ignorance.

This is Question 12 and its answer from the "Test Your Knowledge" quiz at eDiets.

"12. To lose a pound of weight, you need to create a deficit of about 3,500 calories with diet and exercise.
Truth. To lose a pound of fat, you need to balance your personal body scale by taking in fewer calories and doing more activity. The best weight-loss program will show you how to do both. At eDiets, we help you lose the weight by adopting a healthy lifestyle, so you can maintain your weight loss permanently. Aim for one to two pounds of weight loss weekly. You may lose more in the initial weeks as your body adjusts to your new meal plan and activity. Your scale is not always the best indicator of your progress -- if you add weights to your workout, you can actually transform your body to a more muscular and fit you."

This is a physical, physiological, biological and mathematical impossibility. The proof is available here and here.

Yet, the myth persists. Like the spinach and iron thing. See here, here and here.

And so does the killing.

Do NOT believe a diet expert unless you have a death wish.

BTW, you cannot add muscle while losing weight.

eDiet morons.
