Fitness and Food Myths
from Fit Minds · host Mariah Jean
You may have heard this story before - someone comes home from the gym and says 'I'm eating two egg whites, two turkey-sausages, and a spinach salad,' and they expect you to be impressed by their act of self-deprivation. People will put themselves under unnecessary stress, making the new 'diet' they are on that much more difficult than it really needs to be. But with all the fat burning supplements, lemon water and waist trainers marketed towards you - is it really worth spending your hard earned money on these “quick fixes” that simply don’t work?
