Search Results: stop living in my head

I am living with my mom and stepdad, both of who are very religious; especially my stepdad. Several times I've heard him say to me and my pre-teen half-brother that sugar is the worst, that it's always worse than fat, sodium and especially a much bigger attack to our bodies than calories.

For all my life the internet sources I've read just said to rely on calories for weight loss.

I personally do not like my stepdad telling me what to do with my eating habits but there is not a way I can do to stop this, and even if I could, there's no way of automatically correcting him. But he is a Christian, he thinks because he is a man, he's automatically the head of the house and thinks his bluntness is power and my mom is too soft of a rulemaker as a woman since her thoughts are more free-thinker-like.
