What are the biggest myths when it comes to how to lose weight? -

Ok, great question, there are so many out there, and it s really annoying when I find them constantly spread here:- Eating after 7 p.m. makes you gain weight , incorrect, the only correct recommendation is that you lower your carbohydrate intake at night-As long as you burn more calories than you consume you re good, wrong, the source of your calories has to be healthy, or it will slow fat-loss, and your general health will face consequences-Exercise is more important than nutrition, false, nutrition is far more important, exercise just speeds up the process-Carbohydrates need to be avoided as much as possible, incorrect, you need 5 grams of glucose per hour for your brain to function properly, and you can certainly lose weight with a carbohydrate intake by limiting it, but not so much that it s unhealthy-Lean Cuisine and Subway is healthy, wrong, they are highly processed, they are just healthy alternatives compared to foods that are even more unhealthy-The idea that starvation is effective at losing weight-That meat is responsible for obesity (it is mainly due to the high consumption of processed foods and lack of exercise)So many, if I think of more I ll list them.

I think one of the biggest myths that people fall into is that pills always work.Supplements other than whey protein generally have very low amounts of the compound in them (usually less than 1g). This is fine, studies in reliable journals have proven that these doses which are in fact high, accelerate fat loss or mass gain. However this may only be an extra 4lbs over 4 weeks. People generally assume that the pill is magic and works alone. This in fact is incorrect, usually on the bottle it will say to be used in conjunction with a blanced diet and exercise program. Also this research is performed under strict conditions, possibly with a program and nutrition plan devised by professionals. It could be done with a group of athletes with high metabolisms etc....I m not saying don t take these supplements because they are proven to work, but don t expect a huge change.I think the other myths have been covered by other people.

That people know what they re talking about, or that you will suddenly lose a lot of weight by purchasing some new book or piece of equipment. Just eat less/healthier and get outside and be active. Happiness can also have an effect. Depressed people tend to put on a little weight after a while, unless they become drug addicts or something.
