IT’S NOT THE FAT IN FOODS THAT MAKES YOU FEEL FULL.

That greasy cheeseburger will leave you feeling full all day, so it’s worth the splurge, right? Wrong! Fat is the slowest food component to clear the stomach, so for years it was assumed that fatty foods slowed digestion and kept you feeling full longer. Recent research proves otherwise.

In fact, protein tends to leave people feeling more satisfied than either carbs or fat, Rolls says. The problem with fat is that it has more than twice the calories of protein or carbs.

To eat more and weigh less, reach for foods high in fiber, like fruits and veggies and whole grains.

MISSING MEALS IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO DROP POUNDS.

Research has repeatedly shown that people who eat at regular intervals, starting with breakfast, are better nourished, think more clearly and report fewer mood swings than those who eat erratically. Meal skippers are more prone to weight problems–probably because once they do eat, they eat too much of all the wrong stuff. Once meal skippers do eat, they find it very difficult to stop, consuming way more calories than people who eat more frequently. Researchers at the National Weight Control Registry (NWCR), an ongoing research study based at Brown University In Providence, R.I., that monitors people who have successfully maintained a weight loss of more than 30 pounds for at least one year, report that spacing food evenly throughout the day is key to weight-loss success.

THERE ARE GOOD AND BAD FOODS.

You may have heard that there are no “good foods” or “bad foods,” only good and bad diets. Nutritionally, a potato chip can’t hold a candle to a baked potato. If having cookies in the house triggers a person to binge, then that food could be a problem simply because it results in unhealthy behaviors. Enjoy “bad” foods only once in a while and in reasonable portions–but always stock your kitchen with “good” foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole-grain breads.

LOW-CARB DIETS DON’T FLUSH CALORIES FROM THE BODY.

Proponents of low-carb diets claim you can excrete fat fragments (called ketones) in urine on this type of diet, essentially flushing calories out. But a recent study at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg found no correlation between urinary ketone levels and weight change in women on low-carb diets.

EATING HEALTHFULLY CAN SAVE YOU MONEY.

With a little planning, eating well can actually cost less than typical fast-food fare. Are you surprised? A study at the Mary Imogene Bassett Research Institute in Cooperstown, N.Y., found that a person who follows a heart-healthy diet can reduce her grocery bill by up to $8 a week. That translates to an annual savings of $416 a year for a single person or $1,664 for a family of four. Granted, wild salmon and imported olive oil cost more than a Happy Meal, but you need to factor in the hidden costs of a diet that is high in fat.

More than half of all Americans eat too much, with the extra pounds costing about $400 per person in added health-care bills, not to mention the more than $30 billion spent annually in this country on weight-loss products and services.

Pound for pound, health-boosting whole foods are a lot cheaper than fast-food fare. To help pare down your grocery bill, swap legumes for meat products; buy less-expensive produce such as apples, oranges, carrots, spinach and cabbage; and purchase whole grains like oatmeal, rice and bulgur in bulk.

NO MIRACLE DIET WILL BANISH CELLULITE!

Medically speaking, there is no such thing as cellulite. It’s a marketing term for plain old pudge that ripples (mostly on the thighs) in varying degrees in 50-90 percent of women, regardless of clothing size or fitness level.

This clumpy fat results from fat cells stored just under the skin in honeycomblike structures held in place by bands of connective tissue. The more fat cells stuffed into each honeycomb, the more puckered the texture. Women are more prone than men to dimply fat because our skin is thinner, we have less-even fat distribution, and we store more fat in our hips and thighs. Since cellulite is just ordinary body fat, there is no unique diet trick to remove it. The bottom line? A calorie-controlled, healthy diet plus exercise helps you lose fat throughout your body.

YOUR BODY DOESNT NEED LOADS OF PROTEIN.

Even if you exercise regularly, you don’t need any more protein than the average couch potato! Most Americans consume more than enough protein, averaging 77.5 grams a day, or 146 percent of the Dietary Reference Intake (53 grams) for a 145-pound adult.

These days it’s getting harder to tell the real pop twerps from the hip parodists–both of whom make music sweeter and more dizzying than cherry wine. Take Sweden’s Cardigans, for example: On one hand, they work the same delicious Bacharach lounge jazz and gooey ’60s girl swoons as Pizzicato Five, a group whose retrokitsch is delivered with a big, fake-eyelashed wink. On the other hand, the Cardig…
