How many times have you been told how you should go about losing weight but end up totally confused by all the contradictions and plain bad information given by well-meaning but misinformed friends, family and even so-called experts? This mass of misinformation and contradictions is exactly why there are so many people who find losing weight naturally an almost impossible task - or at least very difficult.
The four main areas of confusion - the four main myths, if you like - are causing a great deal of stress and unhappiness (and weight loss failure of course) for a lot of would-be weight losers.
We'll debunk those myths right now; Fat makes you fat Untrue - SUGAR MAKES YOU FAT...
and never forget that...
!!! ...
while certain saturated fats and fats such as those contained in homogenized products like margarine and some cooking oils are very bad for you, there are plenty of fats such as those contained in walnuts and avocado for instance, that can be extremely beneficial for our health.
Fat does of course contain lots of calories but not all fats are likely to be stored in your body as actual fat, so you really shouldn't ignore fats completely.
They can actually help you to feel fuller, which in turn can only help to stop you from making a pig of yourself at the dinner table (or the breakfast table or - well you know what I mean).
You must watch every calorie Untrue - while you certainly need to cut calories, especially those from the wrong type of foods, you really don't have to perform complicated calculations and be absolutely spot-on about your daily calorie intake - that's just a bore and a real pain in the you-know-what! Just so long as you're eating the right amounts of good healthy food at the right times, then your calorie count will be low enough to have the desired effect without you having to carry your scientific calculator around with you.
Crash diets are the best Untrue - in fact, they can take a terrible toll on your health and looks.
You must have seen people with those huge sagging folds of skin and wrinkles left from a sudden drop in weight.
I'd say it's pretty obvious that very fast massive weight loss just cannot be a good thing for anybody.
All these are basically spin-offs from previous types of fad diets and are usually proved to be easily reversible - all the weight just piles back on fast and furious! It's just not easy Untrue - it's actually very simple.
The only reason weight loss is so often viewed as complicated and difficult is because of all that misinformation and contradiction that seems to be readily dished out by all and sundry.
In summary; the simplest weight loss systems, methods or programs almost always prove to be the most effective.
Natural, speedy, healthy and permanent weight loss isn't and has never been about overly complicated dieting systems and /or poisonous diet pills - it's all about simplicity, a bit of will-power and genuine weight loss knowledge.
