(ThyBlackMan.com) Losing weight is an extremely popular subject at the moment because of the fact that there is an increasingly large amount of people who are looking to try and make a change to their lifestyle and their weight. However, as a result of this, many people take to the internet to find out the best methods to drop the pounds and they end up stumbling across many weight loss myths that have been shown, time and time again, to be false. In this article, we are going to go through seven weight loss myths that you should simply dismiss if you ever come across them.
- – Fats Make You Fat
This is without a doubt one of the most confused-about weight loss topics. It’s not the amount of fat in your diet that is going to make you put on those unwanted pounds, it ultimately comes down to your daily caloric intake. If you are in a caloric surplus, you are going to be gaining weight, eating at maintenance calories is going to maintain your weight and the caloric deficit is what’s going to help you lose fat.
- – Supplements
The supplement industry is doing a pretty good job at convincing people that their products are the key to helping you get the results that you want, whereas in reality, this just isn’t the case. Of course some supplements can help you but for the majority of them, they are not going to give you any noticeable results, your diet is what’s going to get you the body you want. There’s no magic pill.
- – Weight Loss Foods
No matter what you read on the internet or in a magazine, there are no single foods that are going to make your body go into a state of fat loss. One of the most popularly claimed weight loss foods is the grapefruit, but there is no real evidence to prove it; stick to a healthy diet and ensure that you’re in a caloric deficit.
- – Carbohydrate Myth
Despite the fact that there is scientific proof to back up the fact that a low-carb diet can help with losing weight, it does not necessarily mean that you have to restrict your carbs to burn away body fat. Although having a diet that is very rich in carbs is going to make it a little more difficult for you to remain in a caloric deficit. So I’d recommend keeping your carb intake at a moderate level, the lower they are, the harder your diet is going to be as your energy levels would be affected.
- – Breakfast
The times at which you decide to consume your calories really doesn’t have a big effect on the overall rate at which your body is able to lose weight. As long as, by the end of the day, you are below your maintenance caloric intake, you will lose weight, provided that you remain consistent with the diet. There are, however, a number of studies that show people who eat breakfast weigh less than people who do not, but the only correlation there is that the people eating breakfast are more likely to be healthier in general.
