Weight Loss Myths10 "Must Know" Weight Loss MythsWith all the thousands of websites and information on weight loss, it's hard to determine fact from fiction. With the information overload on weight loss it can get very confusing. You are not alone with the confusion. So, here are 10 myths about weight loss to help you sift through the facts and fiction.
Myth #2 Don't Eat the Dreaded Carbohydrates  Like
in the first myth about weight loss, it’s not the carbs that will make
you fat, it’s all
about calorie intake and expenditure. Remember a calorie is a
calorie, rather it’s an ounce of protein or carbs. Some foods are more dense in calories (like fatty foods) so will have more calories per ounce – so use in moderation (but remember, don’t eliminate all fat – you need some (see myth #3) In fact, starchy foods such as potatoes, breads and pasta are some of the fastest burning foods and provide the body with ready to use fuel. Experts recommend that your diet includes these types of foods for fuel and should make up approximately 60% of your calorie intake. Be sure to make your bread and pasta’s whole wheat as this will provide a higher nutrient intake than white or processed flour foods.
Myth #4 Cut Out All Sweets One reason most people fail at a strict diet or fall off the wagon is their cravings. Don’t eliminate this totally (but take in moderation). If you deprive yourself of certain foods that you crave, chances are you will fall into the “binge eating” pitfall. Remember the first myth about weight loss, a calorie is a calorie. So just make sure when you do have that occasional snack, do it in moderation. Weight Loss Myth #5 Don't Diet, Just Exercise  Well
if you’ve already read my exercise myths, then this will feel like
dejavu. The fact of the matter is, you cannot just exercise
and
achieve the results you’re looking for. You must monitor both
the
food intake and your activity level to be successful.Weight Loss Myths Continued - page 2 Related Articles Burn Fat Quick! Lose Weight Fast!
