Weight Loss Myths ContinuedWeight Loss Myths 6 - 10Make sure you know the difference between what's real and what's not with these myths about weight loss.
Myth About Weight Loss #8 Don't Eat Late Although many people believe this to be a weight loss tip, it is actually found more often in weight loss myths. Remember, it’s all about calories in and out. So, if your late night (healthy) snack doesn’t put you over your calorie intake, then it won’t affect your weight loss.
Weight Loss Myth #9 Fat Free = No Calories  Just because something is low in fat (or zero fat) does not mean it does not contain calories. In fact, some foods that are non-fat are higher in calories than their counter parts that have fat content. For instance, check out the label on dressings. Some of the non-fat dressings actually have more calories than those that contain fat. Again, fat is more calorie dense, so you still want to limit the fat intake, but don’t automatically assume non fat means no calories. Myth About Weight Loss #10 Fad Diets Work In fact they do, for a short time. Read your goals again – is your goal just a short term weight loss, only to put the pounds back on? Probably not. What you are looking for is that lifelong weight loss. Once you’ve lost that weight, you want to keep it off. There are some extremely low carb or low calorie diets that do have a good success rate – like the Atkins Diet or Medifast – just make sure you have a good maintenance plan so that it can become an eating style you can live with. Remember, it’s a lifestyle change – no a short term weight loss. Back to Weight Loss Myths - page 1 Related Articles Exercise Myths Don't believe everything you hear.
