Fact or Fiction

You should never eat past 8 o'clock... (Fiction- its not when you eat, but how much you eat. People tend to overeat later at night which is why most people think this)

Drinking broth based soup before eating can help you feel less full... (Fact- Eating foods with a high water content increases one's sense of fullness, but drinking water on its own has not been shown to have the same impact because water is emptied more quickly out of your stomach)

If you are on a diet, you should avoid red meat... (Fiction- red meat is a great source of iron and protein) 

If you're not sweating while working out, you're not working hard enough... (Fiction- There is zero correlation between perspiration and losing weight. What works best for you lifestyle is whats going to work the best because you will stick to it.) 

There is no miracle fat burning food... (Fact- Many people have heard that grapefruits speed up metabolism, which is true.. but only for a little bit. Even though it has some benefits, it may affect the way the body absorbs, processes, and eliminates certain prescription drugs)
