In a world flooded with misinformation about diet and weight loss, figuring out which foods to eat and which to avoid can feel like a never-ending maze. One minute, you may read a social media post that encourages you to cut out all fruits to lose weight. Then you come across a podcast that praises some fruits for their nutritional benefits but demonizes others.
Amid all this confusion, it’s crucial to focus on balanced, evidence-based guidance promoting sustainable habits for long-term health and weight management.
