Why Are These Diet/Fitness Myths So Popular ?!


Question: Why Are These Diet/Fitness Myths So Popular !?
How come more people are familiar with the myths than truth!? How come the Atkin's diet is actually considered good!? How come it is so popular that low weights and high reps actually tones you!? How come I get thumbs-downs for the truth!?!?!? I'm pretty annoyed, that's why I'm asking!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Because people are stupid!. <-- Best AnswerWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think there are three reasons:

1) desperation - "I just want to lose weight! I don't care how I do it!."
2) simplicity - only eating grapefruit is much easier than trying to figure out what a healthy, well-balanced diet really means!. You don't have to think about it- just eat grapefruit all day!.
3) They appear to work!.!.!.!.for a while!.

Some people also may not know any better!. "Well, grapefruit is good for me!.!.!.so a diet based on grapefruit is probably good for me too!."

Is low weights and high reps really just a myth!? Thats what I've always heard!. I also see people who do Pilates for years and they seem pretty toned!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i too want to know why people give me a thumbs down for my answers when i know i am right!. it's really annoying because i have been studying nutrition for quite some time now yet people still give me thumbs down for my answers when i'm the only one with the right and truthful answer!.

most people won't take the time to learn how to eat right!. for example, many many many people i have met do not realize that carbs are actually good for you (well complex carbs anyway)!. if people just sat down and studied a bit about how to eat right, then they would know better than to believe myths!. but that's just it, people don't know any better!.

Because people have heard them for so long that they believe them!. They have even seen some of them on shows so they believe it!. I know a while back on the today show someone was saying something about eating after 7pm!. So of course people believed them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
