Why Are These Diet/Fitness Myths So Popular ?

Pritikin Recipes

How come more people are familiar with the myths than truth? How come the Atkin’s diet is actually considered good? How come it is so popular that low weights and high reps actually tones you? How come I get thumbs-downs for the truth??? I’m pretty annoyed, that’s why I’m asking…
Oh, of course, the ever popular myth, "eating after 7 p.m. makes you gain weight".
Lol Pat xD.
Folladj – Yes, low weights, high reps are a myth, they only increase endurance and completely fatigue slow-twitch muscle fibers.
As for pilates, the only way to reduce bodyfat (or tone) is through cardio, and most importantly a healthy diet. If the diet is healthy enough and low-calorie, you can usually get away with bad exercise in reducing bodyfat.

Also, those people may have done cardio, or already started off with a good amount of muscle, which helps burn bodyfat.

My question again was about popular diets and there have been some great answers
