5 Fitness Myths
by Jesse Cannone
http://www.guaranteed-weightloss.com/
Unfortunately, many people are misinformed and are also
misled by the many promises of the weight loss industry.
Everywhere you look, you see or hear of people
promising "Dramatic Weight Loss" with products such as "The
Fat Trapper", or "Exercise in a Bottle".
Then you also have the hundreds of diets out there such
as "The Zone", "Sugar Busters" or "The Atkins
Diet". I'm
sure you have heard of many of these yourself. You might
have even tried some of them. Unfortunately, these
products and diets are not the quick fix, or the miracles
they are portrayed as. They are also usually very
dangerous.
Below are some common misconceptions among people with
regard to exercise and nutrition.
1. You need to exercise to burn fat.
The truth is you don't gain body fat because of a lack of
exercise. You gain it because your blood sugar levels
exceed what you are using. Basically, you are eating too
many calories at one time.
2. Your metabolism slows down once you hit 30.
WRONG! Actually, hundreds of research studies have shown
that the slow down in metabolism is due to a loss of muscle
tissue. And the loss of muscle tissue is directly related
to a lack of hard physical activity!
3. Pasta and bread are fattening.
Anything is fattening! Lettuce can be stored as fat! Any
food or drink, which contains calories, can be stored as
body fat if it causes your blood sugar levels to exceed
what the body needs at that time. Bread and pasta are
actually great sources of complex carbohydrate! The key is
how much you eat and when you eat it.
4. Eating after 7pm will make you fat.
Absolutely false! It all depends on whether or not the
body needs that amount of calories at that time. Keep in
mind your body is constantly burning calories, 24 hours per
day, just the amount varies.
5. Strength training will make you bulk up.
Another NO! It seems as if mostly women are concerned with
this one. Muscle size is primarily affected by genetics
and hormone production; therefore, most women don't have
the potential to build very large muscles.
Muscle burns calories, so the more muscle you have, the
more calories you burn which makes easier to burn fat and
harder to gain it!
By no means is this a complete list! There are so many I
could write a whole book just about them. The key is in
education, but not by reading fitness magazines!
