We tend to complicate things so much by thinking, and thinking, and thinking about them. We all intrisically know what is good for our bodies, but it's easy to get caught up in wanting to eat something else, so we focus on ways to eat that instead and still gain the same results. Then we don't see the results, and wonder why the *diet* is not working. Thanks Patty and Jon for the great input.

It's so true how people get wrapped up in the minutia too soon when looking to lose weight. Like in one of the tips above people read how fructose is supposed to be bad for you and then read how fruit has fructose in. So they then worry about removing fruit from their diet - yeah, like eating fruit got you into that state in the first place :-). Just concentrate on eating healthy and moving more seems to get a lot of people towards their goal. Good post and it’s a great article.

I just inspired a friend to lose weight when I told her I lost 130 pounds by getting rid of analysis paralysis. During the first week of a fresh attempt at weight loss, I found myself spending five minutes analyzing whether to eat all, some, or none of a very tempting chocolate treat. That's when I remembered the closing to Barry Schwartz's book The Paradox of Choice. I realized my analysis of every food decision was (1) adding to the anxiety that drove my food cravings and (2) using up a lot of time better spent building relationships with people, instead of food. I decided to follow just a handful of rules, but follow them without any more analysis. It worked beautifully! Great post!
