We're obsessed with crash diets, from 3-day juice cleanses to weekend starvation regimens and 24-hour detox plans, but we can't stop eating processed, fatty foods.

Portion sizes in the US have increased up to 700% in the last three decades; most of us eat twice the amount of protein we need to power our muscles and less than half the fruits and vegetables we rely on to fill us up and regulate our digestive systems.

As healthy as you think your diet may be, it's likely full of at least a few surprises that might be silently hampering your fitness goals.
