5 Fitness Myths That Are
Responsible For Thousands Of Fitness Failures
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!
