The Five Biggest Weight Loss & Fitness Myths Exposed

WEIGHT LOSS AND FITNESS MYTH #1

Dieting will eliminate fat.

This is a big myth we fight to correct everyday. Stay with me on this: Your body can't tell the difference between you dramatically reducing your calories to lose weight with a diet, or by starvation. The science behind it is simple: when you dramatically reduce your caloric intake, your body shifts into a protective, survival mode by slowing your metabolism down so you won't burn as many calories. This means that your body holds onto your body fat and burns up your valuable muscle instead. Why does your body eat up your own muscle tissue instead of burning fat while you are reducing your calories? Because your muscle is what burns the most calories, and to keep you alive for the long haul, your body cannibalizes what burns the most calories! In other words, drastically decreasing your calories will make you fatter!

In the beginning of a diet you will lose weight by dramatically cutting calories. But the weight loss won't be fat loss, it will be water weight and lean muscle tissue - the exact OPPOSITE of what you want to get rid of. Science has proven this over and over again. It's an undisputed universal fact. Not only will harsh diets slow your metabolism down to a crawl, causing your initial weight loss to come to a gradual halt, they will also inevitably bring about a "rebound" effect. This rebound will make you even fatter than you were before starting the diet. When you rebound, not only do you generally put on more weight than you actually lost with the diet, your body fat percentage increases because of the lost muscle tissue your body used up as an energy source during the dieting process. This process is the "yo-yo" effect that almost all calorie deprived dieter's experience.

WEIGHT LOSS AND FITNESS MYTH #2

Resistance training (weight lifting) doesn't burn fat.

Wow...nothing could be further from the truth than this! Science has proven it over and over again. Muscle is metabolically active tissue. Fat is not. Fat is an energy source for the body, but most people have much more than they need. Fat does not use energy - it is used as energy. Muscle uses energy. The more lean muscle you have, the more fat you burn. And here's the biggest benefit, and why everyone needs to incorporate resistance training in their exercise program: the more lean muscle you have, the more fat you burn - WHILE YOU ARE AT REST!

You see, that's really the ultimate weight loss and fitness secret. Looking great is not just a function of how many calories and how much fat you burn when you're working out, because you can only exercise so much in a given week. The real secret is how metabolically active your body is the rest of the time.

People with more active lean muscle tissue will burn much more fat at a much greater rate than do those with less lean muscle. That doesn't mean you have to look like Arnold or Madonna to be an efficient fat-burning machine. But you do have to at least maintain - and preferably increase - your lean muscle tissue. It's very, very effective with the proper resistance-training program.

WEIGHT LOSS AND FITNESS MYTH #3

A regimen of normal aerobic exercise will burn the most fat.

I see frustrated women who spend 5 days a week, 60 minutes at a time, on the stair-stepper, treadmill or bicycle who don't lose weight! But they keep doing what their doing hoping that somehow what hasn't worked in the past will miraculously change their bodies in the future. I know men who run 6 miles a day who have no muscle tone and rolls of fat around their waists who hope the same thing. You've been led to believe that if you want to lose fat, all you have to do is regular aerobic exercise. There's a lot more to it than that. No single piece of the puzzle works by it self.

You must monitor and control your cardiovascular intensity to maximize the number of calories you burn. And, if aerobic exercise is not synergistically applied with weight training to increase lean muscle tissue, and include supportive nutrition, you cannot effectively accelerate the fat loss process. Each pound of lean muscle tissue burns 35-60 calories a day while your body is at rest. So, put five new pounds of muscle on your body, and you can burn up to 300 more calories in the next 24 hours than you do right now. Whereas body fat is not metabolically active, and just makes you look fat and stay fat.

Therefore, a combination of properly monitored aerobic exercise, resistance training and supportive nutrition enables you to rapidly burn the maximum amount of fat. SPECIAL NOTE: This may sound like its involved and time consuming. It's not! With the proper fitness and nutrition system in place, you can quickly burn fat, lose weight and get fit in as little as 45-60 minutes per session, only 3-4 times per week.

WEIGHT LOSS AND FITNESS MYTH #4

Pills, fat burners, and powders will make you skinny.

Fat burners, diet pills, over-hyped products - you know who gets the most out of these products? The manufacturers and celebrity promoters. Some of this stuff is extracted from foods and has a role in nutrition, but it's not a substitute for eating right. And much of the "miracle" drugs you see advertised are exceedingly dangerous to you. Don't believe me? The next time you see an advertisement in a weight loss magazine for one of these "miracle" products - or if you see a commercial on TV for one - read or listen to the DISCLAIMERS AND WARNINGS that accompany these ads. A lot of this stuff is very dangerous and it has no place in a healthy, permanent weight loss and fitness lifestyle.

If you're willing to risk exposing your body to these drugs and potentially harmful products, you might be able to lose some weight - at first. But you will experience no long-term benefits - none! You will eventually gain the weight back and put your body in long-term risk of side effects from the artificial additives and fillers in most of these products.

WEIGHT LOSS AND FITNESS MYTH #5

Tummy trimmers, thigh reducers, and body part shapers can "spot" reduce.

All over the country people are falling for infomercials touting muscle-specific exercises for body fat reduction. You cannot reduce your waist size by working the abdominal muscles, nor can you reduce your thighs with a thigh exerciser. It's a scam, a total rip-off! The only way to reduce body fat is by combining a precise program of supportive nutrition with the right balance of aerobic and resistance exercise. If it sounds hard, it's not. It's just hard to cut through all the lies, misinformation and total nonsense being shoved down your throat by these big, mega-buck companies attempting to further line their pockets at your expense.
