Stop blaming the US Food pyramid. It’s irrelevant whether it’s helpful or not Research shows less than one percent of US adults follow the food pyramid. Stop blaming it for obesity or health issues….. because no follows it. (source: JAMA Internal Medicine, 2016)

…… blaming the food pyramid for America’s health issues, is like blaming surfing for my bad back, even though I’ve never surfed.

Gluten-free diets are not any healthier, and might actually be hurting you. (unless your celiac). Gluten-free diets… 1. Nutrient deficient. 2. May cause weight gain 3. Impaired physical performance. 4. Do not improve G.I. issues (for non celiac) 5. Microbiome impairment.

A professor at Kansas State University proved that dieting was mainly about calories. He lost 27 pounds by only eating Twinkies. So you can fast, cut carbs, eat, vegan, or avoid gluten…… But a caloric deficit is still the most important factor with weight loss

Why I hate burpees (5/5) They suck. They are not fun. They are really difficult. They will hurt your Posture, not help it. They’re not going to be the reason that you get lean. You look silly doing them ( Pasternak, 2024)
