Conventional wisdom about diets, including government health recommendations, seems to change all the time. And yet ads routinely come out claiming to have THE answer about what we should eat. So how do we distinguish what’s actually healthy from what advertisers just want us to believe is good for us? Mia Nacamulli gives the facts on fad diets.

    Eat balanced, don’t think about it all the time, but be aware. You can have junk food once a month or twice, but eat it with joy, not feeling guilty. Do some sport that you think is fun like tennis, football, basketball… Cardio is not that efficient and I think is pretty boring. Constant salads become unhealthy

    I think the best diet is to buy a lot vegetables, cooking it by boiling, and eat a small servings of said boiled vegetable.

    you can just eat like a "normal person"(you can eat everything but with moderation), and do gym or run on your neighborhood(physical exercises are good for your body). In short terms "Just live your daily life with moderation", i repeat, the key for a better life is the "MODERATION"

    I know this is controversial but, does skipping meals or eating less really slow down the metabolism?

    Hi. I loved the vid a lot! I’ve been trying to research for an awesome YouTube video like yours that really educates the ideas in this video. 👍 👌Your lesson actually reminds me of the vids of Dr. Ethan. Doctor Ethan’s demonstrations are knowledgable and I learned a lot for my practice.

    And for info about how cow’s react to the physical harms inflicted on them in the dairy industry, please see Ted-Ed’s video on animals feeling pain…
    Cows feel pain and value being alive. They also love their babies. We don’t need to be breastfed past infancy. We can live and thrive as vegans. Please do the right thing. ❤

    Guys. lost crazy amounts of weight doesn’t need to be hard (I used to feel it did). I’ll give you some tips right now. Get a popular diet plan program called Okibetonic Secrets (do a search on google). Thanks to it I’ve lost lots of weight. I probably should not even be talking about it cause I don’t want a lot of other guys out there running the same game but whatever. I am just in a excellent mood today and so I’ll share the wealth haha.
