I don’t have any doubt in understanding, that readers of this article have spent a lot of time, money and energy in following different weight loss programs. But have not reaped any fruit out of that. They are unable to understand the reason of their failure. If from today you want to succeed in weight loss goals and then maintaining that weight, keep reading.

Those who succeed in weight loss say that when they stopped listening to the myth that cover weight loss and started following a healthy lifestyle they were successful in losing weight. Listed below are 6 weight loss myths versus the actual facts.

Eating fat makes fat

We have never seen any body that was able to lose weight by switching himself from regular sweat ice-cream to the low fat one. Reason behind this is that it is not the “fat” that makes one fat. These are the calories which are responsible for weight gain.

Snacking cause to gain weight

The truth is that taking several small meals throughout the day are far better than taking 3 bigger meals in a day. They maintain a steady metabolism and sugar levels throughout the day.

Water flushes away fats

The energy level of the person trying to lose weight suffers if somebody is dehydrated. Drinking plenty of water is essential for a healthy weight loss. But the water only flushes away the toxins and the retained water from the body. It does not flush away the fats.

Grapefruit burns out the fat

Grapefruit is enriched with vitamin C. No doubt the grapefruit is worth eating but only as a part of varied diet. Alone grapefruit cannot burn fat. In fact no food can do this. These foods can only boost the metabolism.

Weight loss supplements

If some weight loss supplement promises to shed off the pound without doing any other thing then this supplement is a scam. No doubt you’ll lose weight with the help of this supplement. But to maintain that weight you have to make changes in your lifestyle.

High Protein and low carbohydrate diets

When you do not provide the carbohydrates to the body the body tends to take them from the fats. As a result there is weight loss. But you cannot deprive yourself from carbohydrates for a longer period of time. You will start to feel tired and lethargic. One should never follow the weight loss program which says that fruits and vegetables are not good for the body.

So next times when you go through these weight loss myths put a deaf ear on them and keep the facts in your mind. This will assure you a better and healthier weight loss.

It’s getting close to the New Year, when the vast majority of Americans resolve to lose weight.

But before you even think about starting a diet to drop pounds fast, I’ve compiled a list of the worst diets around so you won’t waste your time on them. This list isn’t just my opinion, either; I sought the help of registered dietitians who are members of the Weight Management Dietetic Practice group of the American Dietetic Association. Here are the nominees:

Raw Food Diet
Eating raw is based on trying to get the majority of your calories from unprocessed and uncooked foods. Rawists believe that eating foods above 116°–118° F will destroy enzymes that provide many health benefits. While most dietitians would agree that eating lots of minimally processed fruits, vegetables, and grains is best, we also understand that processing actually boosts the bioavailability of several key nutrients, primarily the phytonutrients, and inactivates some of the unhealthy compounds.

The raw food diet is rich in all plant-based foods including fruits and vegetables; nuts and seeds; and sprouted seeds, grains, and beans. Don’t get me wrong; these ingredients are great—and you can make plenty of meals (here are five delicious ones) using these guidelines. But following this type of diet to a T requires a lot of complicated food preparation—creating pine nut and yeast “cheese,” for example—that makes it impractical for most working women.

I have had plenty of experience with raw foods because I live in Marin County, Calif., where Roxanne Klein, the coauthor of Raw, started Roxanne’s Fine Cuisine, a line of pricey prepared raw food creations available at our Whole Foods and other high-end supermarkets. I’ve tried several of the items but have found them to be extremely expensive and not very tasty—certainly nothing I could follow for more than a day or two at most.

As a “flexitarian” and part-time vegan, I know that eating lower on the food chain can help promote weight loss, but I also know that caloric content is not related to the heated treatment of food. Skip the raw food diet, and eat more healthful whole foods—cooked or raw—to help whittle your waist, not your wallet.
