The Truth Behind Weight Loss Myths

Three Weight Loss Myths To Stop Believing

There is a lot of erroneous information out there–the truth is, any program one takes par in with the intention of losing weight can only be successful when you do one thing, coupled with another:

Eat less, and exercise more.

The point is to lower your calorie intake (including foods that are high in sugar and fat, and carbs = sugar), and increase your metabolic rate by using your body to move, each and every day.

A plethora of myths grace our media today. Three that I find particularly scandalous are the following:

1. Sugar has no fat; therefore, you can’t gain weight from eating as much as you like.

Not so, sugar turns into weight simply because it is a carbohydrate, and feeds the body’s desire for MORE, therefore, because of the high calorie content, you are taking in a gross amount, should you overindulge, and this necessitates increasing your metabolic rate even more than usual. If you don’t “work off” the sugar sufficiently, you’re in for a weight gain.

2. Don’t eat after 7:00 p.m. and you’ll lose weight.

I suppose this depends on exactly WHAT you eat before 7:00 p.m. and what you do afterwards. This is just a “time frame game” that assumes we all plop into bed at a certain time of night. The myth is also assuming we eat a big, hearty dinner, and then sit for two hours watching TV, and then roll onto our mattresses and don’t move again for eight hours. If one eats a “clean salad” at midnight it’s not going to cause a fluxuation in weight. It depends on your daily movement and your calorie intake–OVERALL–in a 24-hour time frame that impacts your weight loss or weight maintenance. [A clean salad is translated into a healthy salad without heavy, creamy dressings]

3. Weigh yourself daily on a scale to keep your weight under control.

The scale, the all-knowing, all-shaming scale, with numbers that can ruin my day is no longer a threat to me. I have had countless arguments with my Sunbeam (and other brand types) at 6:00 in the morning, complaining as I stood upon it and the dial edged further around the arc of numbers, that I couldn’t possibly weigh THAT MUCH! I have thankfully stopped playing the game of “what I weigh I think”, and “I think therefore I am… FAT”, and have retired the scale onto a shelf in my walk-in closet.
