I hate the word diet as it is synonymous with a short term solution and something that is never sustainable. if you want it to work long term, it needs to involve real food and it needs to be something you can maintain forever. We all need to stop looking for a quick fix or magic bullet that simply does not exist. With this in mind, here are 5 pieces of diet advice I constantly see, hear and read that are absolute garbage. Carbs are the enemy Carbs get a pretty bad rap when it comes to weight loss , especially when diets like keto really grew in popularity.
