2. Taking All The Media BS Too Seriously

It seems like there’s not a day that goes by when a new fad diet or superfood is “discovered”, and that some Instagram model or talk show anchor swears that it 100% works. The next time you hear about some crazy new diet trend, ask yourself this: “Does it sound too good to be true?” or “Does this sound like torture?”

If the answer to either of those questions is “yes”, it’s probably not worth it.

Let’s be clear, there’s no magic pill or ingredient that is a one-size-fits-all solution. The only way to reach your health goals is through long-term commitment and self-control. You need to eat right, incorporating plenty of nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Exercising and giving up on unhealthy lifestyle choices like drinking too much or sleeping too late are also important. Most importantly, you need to listen to your own body, because that’s far better than listening to some stranger on the TV or internet.
