Myth #1 Dieting Alone is Enough to Loose Weight
While you can loose weight by dieting alone, it really isn't the right approach. You should
be concentrating on having a diet that is rich in healthy foods that provide your body
with all the nutrients it needs. Healthy foods tend to be low in calories, so this can lead to
weight loss. Think of any weight you loose as an added bonus to providing your body with
the food it needs to run properly. This approach can help keep you from loosing
motivation in your quest to lighten up.
Myth #2 Certain Foods Can Slow or Speed up Metabolism
I'll make this simple: it just doesn't happen. Additionally, dieting does not get rid of the
fat that is most dangerous of all. That is the fat that is located inside of you, around your
internal organs. The only way to lower you internal fat levels is through exercise. This is
why people who aren't over weight still need to exercise. You can have lots of fat on
the inside even if you appear slim on the outside.
Myth #3 Weight Loss Shakes Help You Loose Weight
There is nothing special in weight loss drinks. They are not magical potions that somehow
make the pounds come off faster or easier. Weight loss can only happen when you
create a calorie deficit. That means your body needs to burn more calories in a day
than you eat in food. When this happens, the body taps into its stores of fat to get
energy and you loose weight. If you eat two 300 calorie shakes a day along with a 500
calorie meal that is 1100 calories. If that is less than you were eating before, you'll
probably loose weight. It doesn't matter where those 1100 calories come from. If you
eat 1100 calories of shakes or fries or apples a day you'll loose weight. Don't
waste your money on diet shakes.
Myth #4 You Can Loose Lots of Weight
Quickly with Fad Diets, Pills, or Patches Please don't ever, ever fall into the trap of
fad diets. It will only be a huge waste of your time and money. No matter how good
the offer sounds, it isn't true. The body just does not work the way fad diet companies
want you to think. Weight gain happens slowly and thus weight loss must happen
slowly as well. There is no way to cut corners.
Myth #5 You Can't Eat Chocolate
It is so unfair that people continue to think you can't eat chocolate when you want to
loose weight. Technically, there isn't anything you can't eat during weight loss.
The key is to keep everything in moderation. Perhaps you should avoid high calorie foods
that you know you'll eat too much of. Otherwise, if you really want some cheese
puffs, have a couple. Just don't eat half the bag.
Like I said, there are no ways to cut corners when it comes to weight loss. It takes hard work, and it takes time.
