3 Weight Loss Myths That Can Put Your Life in Danger


Are you tying to lose weight? If you are I am sure you have been doing a lot of reading on ways to lose weight, hoping to come across an unknown secret to take the weight off fast. I am sure you have found all sort of tips regarding weight loss. Some of them will work and some will not. If you have been over weight most of your life you already know that fad diets do not work. Weight loss supplements and pills do not work alone and it will take extra work to keep the weight off once you stop taking them. The tips that actually work are the ones that suggest diet along with exercise. The weight loss industry is casting out myths with misleading information. In this article you will read about 3 weight loss Myths.



1. Myth#1: You can reduce fat in only the areas you select: This is a myth because you can not force your body to reduce fat in only certain areas not matter which workout you do. Not at all true, and I am sure that any weight loss expert will unanimously agree to this. If you are only wanting to reduce your belly fat by doing crunches or leg lifts you will get a different result. Instead you will be reducing your muscle mass that is beneath your abdomen. Crunches and leg lifts are great but they should also be followed by a healthy diet to speed up your metabolic rate. It will help you burn the fat faster.

2. Myth#2: Eating a lot less calories will reduce your body fat: This myth has the result of a lot of crash dieters. People tend to eat a lot less thinking it will help them lose weight faster. They are not realizing they are only harming their bodies When this happens your body knows it isn’t getting the amount of food that is needed so it holds onto it. Your body slows down its metabolic rate to burn the muscle and will store the fat to produce the energy your body needs. This is why you get the result of gaining the weight back plus more!

3. Myth#3: If you only do Cardio exercises you lose weight: Yes, cardio exercises can help you lose fat, it is not true that this is the only type of weight loss exercises available; don't forget the aerobics. You will lose almost the same weight by doing Cardio or aerobics. Weight lifting is better than both cardio and aerobics, in that it not only helps you burn fat during the workout, but even after that!



I sincerely hope that this article has successfully brought the real weight loss truths before you!
