Five weight loss
myths debunked
Losing weight is a popular New
Year’s resolution every year.
Roughly 50 percent of people
age 20 and older acknowledge they
tried to lose weight over the past 12
months, according to the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.
Successful weight loss requires hard
work and patience. Still, many myths
abound, and people may think there
are quick fi xes to shedding a few extra
pounds. Debunking some of those
myths can help people adopt more realistic
weight loss strategies.
Myth #1: Avoid carbs to lose weight.
A healthy diet is comprised of a mix of
foods that include carbohydrates. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2015
Dietary Guidelines for Americans indicate
that carbohydrates, such as those
found in vegetables, fruits and whole
grains, are a foundation of healthy eating.
Carbs also provide much-needed
fi ber.
Myth #2: You can target specifi c
fat loss. Exercising and eating healthy
can produce overall weight loss and
diminish fat concentrations in certain
parts of the body, indicates the
healthy eating source Eat This, Not
That. But each body is unique, and
where people lose fat varies. Gender
is one factor that can affect people’s
fi gures. Exercise can tone muscles in
key areas to help make a person appear
thinner in those regions, but it
will not necessarily make fat go away
in one place over another.
Myth #3: Eating fat makes you fat.
Fat is very calorie-dense and common
in junk foods, which is why it can get
a bad rap. However, as long as calorie
intake is within a healthy range — even
if some calories are from fat — weight
gain will not occur from fat alone, says
Healthline. The body needs healthy
fats to function properly.
Myth #4: Crash diets will make
weight fall off. Dramatically cutting
calories can lead to nutritional defi -
ciencies and have an adverse effect on
weight loss. The body may slow its rate
of metabolism to conserve calories, as
a crash diet may fool your body into
thinking you are starving. It’s better to
stick to a gradual decrease in calories
while still consuming the daily recommended
amounts based on your age
and other factors.
Myth #5: Tons of exercise will make
the pounds disappear. Research has
repeatedly indicated that exercise can
help boost weight loss. However, the
real way to shed pounds is primarily
linked to diet. According to Shawn M.
Talbott, Ph.D., a nutritional biochemist
and former director of the University
of Utah Nutrition Clinic, weight loss
is generally 75 percent diet and 25
percent exercise. People see the biggest
short-term results when they eat
smart.
If losing weight is your New Year’s
resolution, get the facts before adopting
a weight loss regimen.
