Food - The Most Shocking Diet Myths

I stumbled on this article at Yahoo's Healthy Living section. What I like about it is that it shakes up our normal beliefs on dieting and makes us question if we are getting the most out of beliefs or not. The very first question it poses - Does eating many small meals help you lose faster than eat three big meals? According to the article, it doesn't. What matters is how many total calories and the energy required to break that down. When you eat more than your body can break down in a single day, then you are setting yourself up for gaining weight. This is also true whether you eat unprocessed or processed food and when you eat (morning or night). Myth: Diet sodas make you fat by tricking you into craving sweets. They don't.
