The Top 4 Myths of Weight Loss Debunked

By Lelondez McQuiston

Many find losing weight very difficult simply because there is a lot of misleading information out there. You read one resource about weight loss and then read another one that completely contradicts the first one you read.

All of these misleading information just end up with a lot of misconceptions making the entire situation a bit confusing. This article aims to cut through all the unwanted and unneeded myths, so you can start losing weight in the best way possible.

1. Weight Loss Should be Complicated

No matter what others tell you, there is nothing complicated about losing weight. Actually, the reason people view weight loss as complicated is because there is so much bad information out there that it looks like it is.

Some of the most effective weight loss programs are those that are simple. All the unneeded extras and frill do nothing more than complicate things and provide no real benefits.

2. Crash Diets Are the Best Way to Lose Weight Fast

Next is crash diets or popularly known as 'fad diets'. Every so often, the latest crash diet comes to town which is basically a spin off of the previous diet, with some extras thrown in for uniqueness.

Nearly every one of these crash diets don't work. If they do happen to work, any weight that is lost is usually gained back quickly after the diet is stopped.

3. All Kinds of Fat is Bad For You

It is true that fat is high in calories, and some kinds of fat are likely to be stored on the body as fat. However, this doesn't mean you have to stay away from fat entirely. Some fats will help you feel full quickly, which will help you avoid overeating.

The trans fats are bad for you and should be avoided, but you don't have to stay away from all fat.

4. When Dieting You Have to Measure Every Calorie Consumed and Burnt

Again, this is completely false. Dieting does concern about cutting calories, but you do not need to be precise and count every calorie you eat or burn for that matter.

As long as you're eating a diet that's wholesome and healthy and keep your calorie count on the low side, you will do just fine.

Now that you understand everything about these four myths you will be able to clearly see that losing weight is not complicated. You don't need a difficult diet plan or expensive diet pills. You simply need some knowledge and some will power to stick with a simple program to the end. You will find yourself losing weight like never before. - 30414
