In “Weight-loss and nutrition myths,” the Weight-control Information Network provides patients with reliable information about weight loss, nutrition, and physical activity that can be used to make healthy changes in a person’s daily habits. The article, which is available at http://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-topics/weight-control/myths/Pages/weight-loss-and-nutrition-myths.aspx, describes a number of myths (such as, “Fad diets will help me lose weight”) and follows them with facts (such as, “Fad diets … may not provide all of the nutrients your body needs”) and tips (“safe weight loss involves combining a reduced-calorie diet with physical activity to lose 1/2 to 2 pounds a week”).
