If you are interested in healthy eating or trying to control your weight, you may have heard or read some of the following dietary tips:

1. Don't eat after 7pm.

2. If you want to lose weight, cut out carbohydrates.

3. If you go out for dinner at night, don't eat anything for lunch.

4. If you eat a little more one day, the next day only consume fruits.

5. Drink water with lemon in the morning.

There are certainly many available information about diet and weight loss, and a simple internet search will lead you to a wide range of advice and suggestions. Unfortunately, many of these do not have any scientific basis and seem to focus on quick rather than proper results. Additionally, some tips may not only fail to help you in the end but also be dangerous for your health. So it is very important to evaluate what you read before following it.

How can someone evaluate the information/advice they hear?

First, keep in mind that a solution that sounds quite restrictive and does not fit into a balanced diet is not a good choice to follow. Also, anyone who has some knowledge or personal experience about an issue is not necessarily an expert on it. Finally, before adopting any advice, you should see if it fits your lifestyle and focuses on your health.
