There’s a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to weight loss, and in this episode I’m tackling some of the biggest modern diet myths that are still circulating today. I’ve compiled a list with over 65 myths and will cover them over the span of the next few episodes! From the idea that you must exercise to lose weight, to the myth that carbs are the enemy, I’m setting the record straight from my personal experience and years of coaching . If you’ve ever felt stuck or frustrated because of conflicting weight loss advice, I hope this episode sheds some light in a few areas! Tune in to hear me break down:
• Why exercise is not required for weight loss, and how I lost over 200 pounds without it.
• The truth about carbs, fat, and calories,
• Why skipping meals won’t necessarily help you lose weight faster.
• The myth that eating after 6 p.m. automatically leads to weight gain.
• Why “clean eating” and “low-fat” foods aren’t the magic solution to weight loss.
• The real reason fad diets don’t work for long-term success.
• Why willpower alone isn’t enough, and what you actually need to succeed.
• How to avoid falling for weight loss supplements, teas, and detox scams.
Losing weight is about understanding what really works for you, and what doesn’t. It’s time to cut through the noise of diet culture’s endless list of rules! So keep trying, keep tracking, don’t be intimidated, and don’t give up. You’ve totally got this!
