Weight Loss Myths Debunked
Why do people continue to perpetuate myths about weight loss?
For example – the effect of increased muscle mass on metabolism has been GREATLY overestimated. Doctors and researchers have now concluded that adding a pound of muscle burns less than 10 extra calories per day . So, building lots of muscle isn’t the answer. Yet people continue to push the idea. Why?
In fact, the overall effect of exercise in general on weight loss has now been found to be much, much less than previously believed (go look it up). The major component of weight loss is STILL diet – and not as in fad diets or starvation, but diet as in *That which goes into your mouth.*
The ratio is now believed to be something like 70% what you eat to 30% how much activity you get.
This isn’t to say that exercise doesn’t have many, MANY other remarkably healthful benefits – but using it as one’s primary weight loss tool is asking for failure. Ditto the spicy foods/cold water myth (both debunked). The facts are out there. Yet people continue to push such ideas. Why?
People keep pushing this stuff as there are people out there who can not/will not grasp that there is no quick cure for obesity.
Until a person accepts that it is life-style changes that are the solution they will continue to buy into and buy products that offer false hope.
