:"Weight loss/fat loss:the biggest lies"

Please note the following:

 -say no to crash/depriving diets.

How many success stories from real life have you heard about?

Proceed patiently with mild caloric reductions.

Your strategic nutrition plan should contain only foods with a high nutritional and a low caloric value.

-aim for fat loss rather than weight loss

-don't use the scale to judge your progression.Use rather your mirror or your beloved pair of jeans. As we have mant times seen, muscles' density is much higher than that of fat.Scales might disappoint you for no valid reason.

-for successful fat loss/weight loss you should preferentially focus on physical exercise rather than diets.

Right nutrition is of fundamental importance.Diets no!

2. You will lose z cm from buts,belly etc.

We have many times have stressed in this site that we cannot lose weight/fat selectively.

How do you peel an onion? Fat leaves our body in the exactly same way:from everywere!

Until now there is no way for targeted fat loss.

3. There are some fat burning foods!!

This is an allegation that directly insults our intelligence.

I won't elaborate on this because my readers belong to the upper levels of intelligence.

I suspect that there is a misunderstanding with the thermic effect of the foods.This is a totally another issue !

We will talk about thermogenesis in the near future.Until then please forget about fat burning foods!

4.There are foods with negative calories.


Should I comment on this?

There are some foods with low calories and a relatively high thermogenic response.
If ,however, you invest on this fact to lose fat, you will remain overweight for many many years!


5. If you wear x training suit or z bermudas you will lose weight/fat.


The only thing you will lose is water through perspiration!
If you later drink some water, you will regain this weight in no time.

I once lost 5kg of weight in only two hours.I took them back in less time!

6. You can find ample info on fat loss/weight loss issues.Just read some magazines or do some surfing on the net.

It's true that there is an information overload out there but it is simultaneously more than true that there is a distinct lack of reliability.

Both on the internet and in many magazines there is a host of criminally unreliable information. There are different reasons for this:


-people are ignorant and they realize their ignorance. But they will write anyway!

- people are ignorant but consider themselves as pundits.


-magazines and sites live from the advertisements and it's not easy to write against the interests of advertisers.


Conclusion:double check your sources to protect yourselves from unnecessary confusion.
