Many find losing weight very difficult simply because there is a lot of misleading information out there. You read one resource about weight loss and then read another one that completely contradicts the first one you read.
All this misleading information does nothing more than create misconceptions that end up making the entire situation very confusing. In order to clear things up, let's cut through all the unneeded and unwanted myths, so that you can start to lose weight in the best possible way.
1. Weight Loss Has to be Complicated
No matter what others tell you, there is nothing complicated about losing weight. Actually, the reason people view weight loss as complicated is because there is so much bad information out there that it looks like it is.
Some of the most effective weight loss programs are those that are simple. All the unneeded extras and frill do nothing more than complicate things and provide no real benefits.
2. Crash Diets Are the Best Way to Lose Weight Fast
Next is crash diets or popularly known as 'fad diets'. Every so often, the latest crash diet comes to town which is basically a spin off of the previous diet, with some extras thrown in for uniqueness.
Nearly every one of these crash diets don't work. If they do happen to work, any weight that is lost is usually gained back quickly after the diet is stopped.
3. All Fat is Bad For You
It is a fact that fat contains more calories than other foods and some kinds of fat are likely to be stored as fat, but this doesn't mean fat has to be completely avoided. In fact, there are some kinds of fat that are likely to help you feel full quicker than others and will help you prevent overeating.
The only type of fat that is really bad for you and should be avoided is trans fat so avoiding fat entirely is not necessary.
4. When Dieting You Have to Measure Every Calorie Consumed and Burnt
This is another thing that is completely false. It is true that you have to cut calories when you are dieting, but there is no need to be precise and count every single calorie that you consume. You also don't have to account for the precise number of calories that you burn.
As long as you're eating a diet that's wholesome and healthy and keep your calorie count on the low side, you will do just fine.
Now that you understand everything about these four myths you will be able to clearly see that losing weight is not complicated. You don't need a difficult diet plan or expensive diet pills. You simply need some knowledge and some will power to stick with a simple program to the end. You will find yourself losing weight like never before. - 30250
