7 “Diet” Myths You Should Dump!

Before I go into this, you should know I don't believe in “dieting” I believe in a life style change. Most people that diet eventually gain the pounds back and then some!

It's a matter of willpower:

That can be a myth, you can have the will power to start losing weight but sometimes you take it to far and then you have a day where you fail and then you give up. That is why they say it's not a diet it's a life style change!

A calorie is a calorie:

That can be a lie and a truth. Truth if you burn more calories then you are taking in you will lose weight. Certain foods do not fill you up and can make you hungrier, like high processed foods which contain a lot of calories, so then you are not taking in good calories and you wind up eating more which makes your total intake for the day more than you should have taken in.

Healthy food sucks:

I'm never going to eat good food again, that is a LIE! Giving up processed foods at first can be hard but cooking for yourself and cooking healthy, there is a whole world of new tastes for you to try and most dishes do taste good! You don't have to live off of veggies the rest of your life unless you are a vegetarian!

Exercise more:

It starts with the food change first! You can start to exercise and still eat junk food but then you have to exercise more. Once you get your healthy food habits down you will have a healthy exercise regimen!

If it says “diet” it's good for you:

FALSE!!! “Diet” or “Low Cal” on a box is a way for marketers to make you think you are eating better. In fact those foods take out good things for your body like fiber and the good fats. Then to top it all off to make it taste better they load it with sugar, weather real or artificial, it's still not good for you!

You'll be hungry all the time;

This is another FALSE, you can train your body, you can do the 3 healthy portions a day, the 4-6 small meals a day, or even to IF. Once you start consistently doing this and eating healthy you will actually stay full.

You need to go on a diet:

That is where it comes back to the first sentence, a diet is something that has a start and finish, a healthy life style change, is for life. NO DIETS!

These are easy changes to make, you don't have to do a 180 in one day but take a full week and work on everything that week and from there you will be good to go!
