The information highway is about as vast as the universe itself. In fact, there's so much information available on the Internet, you could suffer "paralysis by analysis" or an inability to take action due to an overwhelming amount of information. A search of "carbohydrates" on Google, for example, will inundate your computer monitor with so much information that you could end up spending hours reading through it all. Here the L.A. Diets Examiner shares the websites she uses for the latest information on diets, fitness, and wellness.
