Information age is taking toll on all of us.  So much information is out there that anyone can produce it, and anyone can access it.  The problem is that which information is authentic or not.  Many times, it is an opinion of one person who may or may not be true expert.  This particularly applies to weight loss.

Drinking water is essential for your body.  It may keep you away from snacks.  But melt fat, it will NOT per WebMD.

Foods DO NOT burn fat. Some foods such as chili or protein may speed metabolism, but it will not help you lose weight.

Shock effect does not work. Dramatic changes such as training for a marathon, cutting all carbs will work for short term but not for a long term. Only total lifestyle change will enable you to lose weight and maintain new healthy weight.

Sugar is sugar.  True as it may be that some sugars are worse than others, but your body absorbs sugar in a same way.  By the way, sugar substitutes are worse for your body.

Carbs DO NOT make you fat. Whole grains have many health benefits which can't be ignored. The problem is not carbohydrates as such, but the portions that you may be consuming.

Lifting weights will help your body build extra muscles which in turn help body burn calories.  It will NOT make you bulky.

Good fat is the way to go. Going with low fat is pure nonsense.  Good fat from nuts, avocados and fish are essential to your body.
