The 5 Worst Weight Loss Myths You Need to Stop Believing Right Now


These common myths are holding you back from success - learn what’s actually true.


Let’s bust some myths and set the record straight.


1️⃣ Weight Loss Myth: You Need to Eat Less and Move More:


Sounds simple, right?


But oversimplifying weight loss leads to failure.


Calories matter, but extreme restriction slows metabolism, increases hunger, and makes fat loss HARDER.


As @BioLayne says:


"It’s not just about eating less - it’s about eating SMARTER."

2️⃣ Weight Loss Myth: Carbs Make You Fat: 


Carbs don’t make you fat - overeating does.


Your body needs carbs for energy, performance & muscle retention.


What REALLY matters:


✅ Calories

✅ Protein intake

✅ Activity level


3️⃣ Weight Loss Myth: You Need to Cut Out All ‘Bad’ Foods:


Labelling foods as "good" or "bad" leads to food guilt & binge cycles.


Fact: You can eat pizza, chocolate, or ice cream and STILL lose fat - as long as you’re in a calorie deficit.


Sustainability beats perfection.


4️⃣ Weight Loss Myth: Fasted Cardio Burns More Fat:


Doing cardio fasted doesn’t mean you’ll burn more fat overall.


What matters:


Total calories burned

✅ Strength training for muscle retention

✅ Staying in a calorie deficit


5️⃣ Weight Loss Myth: You Can ‘Tone’ Without Building Muscle:


There’s no such thing as toning.


To look leaner, you need to:


✅ Build muscle

✅ Lose body fat


Lifting weights won’t make you bulky - only stronger, leaner, and healthier.


Even @BretContreras says:


"Strong is the new sexy."
