Here's my results, but I have to say that I don't think that quiz can possibly be very accurate. Out of all of the questions, there was only one where there was an answer that I actually fit into. The rest were kind of the closest to what I do.
You scored 66.7% You've got a fear of fat.
It's understandable. For years, scientists have scared us to death about fat, linking it to heart disease, cancer, obesity and just about every other ill. Now, researchers say we need fat in our diets, especially healthy fats (saturated and trans fats are still bad). So that plain bagel you've been eating would actually be healthier with a smidgen of cream cheese and a few ounces of lox. Adding healthful fats -— and I'll tell you more about them in the upcoming weeks -- actually helps you lose weight! Stay tuned.
You scored 16.7% You're a carbo-phobe.
With half the country following the Atkins diet, you may think any amount of carbohydrates is bad. But the verdict's still out about whether a meat and cream-rich diet that virtually forbids starches and fruits will be effective in the long run. My advice: Bring a moderate amount of carbs back into your life. I'll show you how later in this program. (Those with diabetes note: This program recommends six -- mostly whole grain -- starch servings daily; ask your doctor whether that's OK.)
You scored 16.7% You're a junk-food junkie.
Those chips, fries and burgers are easy to grab and taste so good. But fast food is the fastest way to pack on pounds and hike your cholesterol. Good news: You don't have to say good-bye to your favorite foods forever. During the next four weeks, I'll show you how much junk food you can get away with -- and offer delicious alternatives with quick-and-easy meals.
