5 Weight Loss Myths Busted

It feels like we are bombarded with a new diet fad every week. But what actually works?

There is so much controversy when it comes to dieting that it can leave you confused. There are many common misconceptions. Time to bust a few weight loss myths.

Here are a few of the most common dieting myths and the truth behind them…

Myth 1: Fad diets help you lose weight permanently.

Truth: While some fad diets may help you lose weight quickly, they generally are not great for long-term weight loss. Most of them come down to extreme calorie cutting, which means they arent sustainable in the long run. This also means that once you go back to eating normally, you will probably put on all the weight that you have lost. Rather go after a sustainable healthy and balanced eating plan.

Myth 2: Eating late in the evening will make you gain weight.

Truth: While this is true to some extent, there are other factors that influence your weight a lot more. A calorie is still a calorie no matter what time of day you eat it.

Instead, you should focus on burning more calories in a day than what you consume.

Myth 3: Skipping meals will help you lose weight.

Truth: The exact opposite is true. Going without food for prolonged periods causes your metabolism to slow down and your body to go into a sort of survival mode. Your body then stores any calories it gets as fat, and you start gaining weight, instead of losing it.

It also means that you will be extremely hungry by the time you have your next meal. This causes you to eat more than you should, and in the end you will probably take in more calories than you would have if you didnt skip meals.

Myth 4: Low-fat equals fewer calories.

Truth: These foods often have the same or more calories than their full-fat counterparts. They usually contain added sugars, flour, or starch-based thickening agents in order to put back some of the flavour that was lost when removing the fat.

To avoid such scenarios, make sure that you check the nutritional information on the labels before you buy food.

Myth 5: You can eat whatever you want and still lose weight.

Truth: Well, there is some truth to it. But you have to be very strict on burning more calories than what you take in. You also have to really limit your portion sizes in order to make it a viable plan.

There are much less confusing ways to eat healthily. If you follow a well-balanced eating plan that you can follow in the long run, then you dont have to worry so much about cutting down your portion sizes and exercising to the max in order to burn all the calories that you eat.
