Explanation:

Describe how you have personally been affected by nutrition myths.  

One of the myths that I went through was the one where, the foods you like are the foods you have to give up in order to lose weight. I think this myth is really a true statement as I found myself eating less and less of foods that I didn't like and I was able to reduce 15 pounds in 2 months by eating what I don't like(salad) straight for 2 months as lunch and dinner and it personally has affected me as I lost 15 pounds.

What dietary practices have you put into place that may be harmful?

So, I used to eat poor unhealthy food that had too much of fat, salt, and sugar; and too little of fiber, and other nutrients. This is a harmful dietary practice I can get obese really fast and that is a major cause of heart disease.

What products have you purchased, and for what purpose?

Some products that I have bought are protein shakes as they are chock full of protein that is necessary and I don't have to eat meat which has protein but has too much fat and salt. I also have purchased lots of fruits of vegetables for my vitamin intake. I also stopped drinking anything but fruit juices/shakes and water, I did this to benefit my body.

What types of media have influenced your food buying decisions?

Sports media has really influenced me too buy stuff, especially when I see especially with soup as Donovan Mitchell an NBA basketball player that is a star. He was in a commercial with soup brand and it encouraged me to buy that type of soup (Cambells Chunky Soup).

garcinia cambogia became popular worldwide after being featured on the dr. oz show in 2012.

it is a small, green fruit, shaped like a pumpkin.

the skin of the fruit contains hydroxycitric acid (hca). this is the active ingredient in garcinia cambogia extract, which is marketed as a diet pill.

how it works: animal studies show that it can inhibit a fat-producing enzyme in the body and increase levels of serotonin, potentially to reduce cravings (1, 2trusted source).

effectiveness: one study with 130 people compared garcinia against a dummy pill. there was no difference in weight or body fat percentage between groups.

a 2011 review that looked at 12 studies on garcinia cambogia found that, on average, it caused weight loss of about 2 pounds (0.88 kg) over several weeks.

side effects: there are no reports of serious side effects, but some reports of mild digestive problems.
