Did you know that ab exercises aren't the most effective method for losing tummy flab? You've probably wondered about a lot of weight loss and fitness myths. Some of them are easily dismissed. Unfortunately, others may already be filed in your head as fact. In fact, did you know:
Dieting means being hungry.
Women get big and bulky if they lift too much weight.
Overweight people need to eat less.
The best way to lose tummy flab is with ab exercises.
Men should eat 1500 calories to lose weight, women should eat 1200.
If you did "know" any of these "facts," try to un-learn them! They are all myths. All of them (except the tummy one) can sometimes be true, but are not always the case. The tummy one is downright false.
I have noticed with my clients that some weight loss myths get so firmly planted, that it takes quite a while to correct them. Be patient with yourself as you work to re-educate yourself about fat loss. It is a long but fruitful process.
