That topic happens to be the title of the thread. So, I think the first step to even being educated in that respect is understanding that the whole reasoning behind titling this thread accordingly is based on a mis-conception. General public mis-information is half the reason why people fail at "diets." And I don't care if that's a standard, if something that simple and ignorant is allowed to continue, to perpetuate, more times than not a lot of the information given based around that mis-conception is going to be mis-used. I know it seems anal-retentive, but I've seen it enough on a consistent basis to understand it's importance. If people got the word "diet" out of their head as something evil, something that requires more work, more effort than they're willing to put in, or associating it with a goal they want to achieve when it's definition doesn't even apply to that goal in a specific way, things would be A LOT easier both for consumers and for Professionals in the field.
Pointing out that I have educated this thread on the use of the Word is pretty funny considering that despite my initial post, it was STILL used incorrectly. lol Fat lot of good that did, and that's precisely what I'm talking about. What use would contributing be if the laymen can't get one little word right?
