Weight Loss Myths Destroyed
There are all kinds of weight loss myths out there, and some of most ridiculous ones have amazingly long lifespans. There is one and ONLY one formula for weight loss: eat fewer calories than you burn. That's it! There's no magic formula. There's no magic diet pill or no magic combination of foods, either. Calories in versus calories out determines body weight. If you eat more calories than you burn, you WILL gain weight. On the other hand, if you eat fewer calories than you burn, you WILL lose weight. (Unless you have a medical condition that causes you to gain or lose weight in spite of what you eat or don't eat, that is.)
Let's talk about three of the more ridiculous weight loss myths.
Ridiculous Myth #1: Walking will not cause you to lose weight. Jogging or running is weight loss exercise.
Truth: What causes calories to burn is moving the body. You won't burn calories as fast if you are walking than if you are running, but when you cover the same distance, you will have burned an identical number of calories.
Ridiculous myth #2: Lowfat and low calorie are one and the same thing.
Truth: Nope! Just because a product claims to be lowfat doesn't necessarily mean that it is also low calorie. Manufacturers often substitute fillers that are higher in calories than the fat that is eliminated. Read the labels! It's the only way to be sure.
Ridiculous myth #3: If you fast for the first three days of a weight loss program, you will "jump start" your weight loss?
Truth: Starvation diets have never "worked," and they never will. Most of the weight that is lost during a fast is fluid, and the weight will be quickly regained once regular eating is restored. You can't "jump start" weight loss no matter what method you use.
BONUS : Lose Weight Pills Effects Of Various Supplements
There are many lose weight pills on the market. They tout numerous benefits and list a variety of substances. But the layperson doesnÂt really know what kinds of effects these supplements have in them. Therefore, I turned to the highly respected Mayo Medical Clinic to find out what the effectiveness of the items in the lose weight pills were.
The hot trend right now in lose weight pills is Bitter Orange. This is touted in many supplements as an Âephedra substitute. There is some scientific thinking that it may cause similar problems as ephedra  which was pulled off the market for causing heart attack and stroke. There hasnÂt been enough research on Bitter Orange and the long term effects are unknown.
Chitosan is described as a relatively safe ingredient in supplements. The manufacturers often tout this as having the ability to block the absorption of fat into the body. Mayo says this is highly unlikely. Also, they caution that it may cause constipation and bloating. Again, the long term effects are unknown.
Chromium is another of the lose weight pills that is relatively safe but unlikely to work according to Mayo. It supposedly reduces body fat and builds muscle.
CLA can cause diarrhea and indigestion. Mayo says it might be able to decrease fat and increase muscle, but is unlikely to reduce overall body weight.
Country Mallow is supposed to decrease appetite and increase the number of calories burned. But, like Bitter Orange, it contains ephedra and has all of the associated risks.
Ephedra has been banned for medical or supplement use, but is still allowed to be sold as a tea. Despite this, many supplements still contain ephedra. It can cause high blood pressure, heart rate irregularities, sleeplessness, seizures, heart attacks, strokes and even death and should be strenuously avoided.
Green tea extract is included in any number of lose weight pills. It is supposed to increase calorie burning and metabolism and decrease appetite. There is limited evidence to support this claim, according to Mayo. However, it an cause vomiting, bloating, indigestion and diarrhea. Also, it contains a high amount of caffeine, so if you are watching that, you may want to restrict supplements containing Green tea.
Guar Gum is another supplement that is harmless but unlikely to cause any real weight loss. Makers claim that it blocks the absorption of dietary fat and increases the feeling of fullness, which leads to decreased calorie intake. However, it is more likely to cause diarrhea, flatulence and other gastrointestinal problems
Finally, Hoodia is another ingredient found in many lose weight pills. It is supposed to decrease appetite. However, the Mayo Clinic says there is no conclusive evidence to support this claim.
Many people have found success using these type of supplements. However, they are expensive and there are no legitimate scientific studies that back up the claims. These lose weight pills are quite expensive, so you have to balance the payoff versus the pay out.
