Weight loss myths

March 8, 2008 in Weight Loss Myths by Allen | No comments

Yikes! I just read an article about weight loss that actually has some value.

It’s an article about weight-loss myths.

Here is how the article starts out:

“Myths are all over the place without a doubt. Some of these myths are really easy to debunk, but other myths seem so realistic that a lot of the times we take them as reality and sadly this affects our perception of things.”

Here are the myths the article lists:

* “Lose 30 pounds in 30 days”
* Fat is bad for you
* Carbohydrates are bad for you
* Lose weight by not eating
* Don’t eat after 6 p.m.
* Salad bars ahre healthy
* Diet sodas aid in weight loss
* You shouldn’t step on a scale
* You can lose weight with a pill
* You have to join a gym

Great stuff!
