Myth #1 – A good weight loss programs needs to be complicated, with calorie cycling and special charts and graphs telling what to eat and when to eat based on your specific metabolic type / blood type / birth stone / horoscope sign.

FACT:  A true weight loss plan does NOT have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler the program the better the results will be. The more restrictive the diet, the more likely it will fail you.

Myth #2 – You must be in total control of what you eat. After all, weight loss comes from WHAT you eat, not HOW MUCH you eat.

FACT: Fact: The bottom line is that to lose weight you MUST create a caloric deficit (Eat less calories than you burn off). As soon as you find a simple way to eat less calories you’ve won the battle, stressing over special ways to eat and special types of food to eat will NOT improve your weight loss.

Myth #3 – Intermittent Fasting is only for young people and it’s just another type of diet fad

FACT: Fact: Flexible Intermittent Fasting is supported by a large amount of research and is effective for many people of all different ages and walks of life. From professional fitness models to 53 year old Doctors, an amazing amount of people are switching to the Eat Stop Eat lifestyle every day.

Myth #4 – Some macronutrients are better  than others for weight loss, because of the effect they have on rare or recently discovered ‘fat burning hormones’.

Fact: Fat is not BAD, protein really isn’t that special, and carbohydrates are perfectly fine to eat, even sugar!

Myth #5 -   You lose significant amounts of muscle if you don’t eat every two to three hours.

FACT: You will not lose muscle if you miss a meal. In fact, you won’t even lose muscle if you miss an entire day of meals as long as you follow a well designed workout plan.

The bottom line is that weight loss does not have to be frustrating, complicated or involve secret combinations of foods.
