FAQs
- What are some common weight loss myths?
Many believe that carbs cause weight gain, supplements are effective for weight loss, and that skipping breakfast or eating late at night leads to more fat. These are just myths that have been debunked. - Can cutting out carbs help with weight loss?
Not necessarily. While reducing refined carbs can help, whole foods with carbs provide essential nutrients. A balanced diet with high protein and healthy carbs is more effective for long-term weight loss. - Do weight loss supplements really work?
Most weight loss supplements have little to no scientific backing and may even cause harmful side effects. It’s better to focus on a balanced diet and exercise for healthy weight loss. - Is it true that eating late at night causes weight gain?
Eating late at night doesn’t directly cause weight gain. What matters more is your total calorie intake and activity throughout the day. Be mindful of portion sizes and food choices. - Does skipping breakfast help in losing weight?
No, skipping breakfast doesn’t help with weight loss. In fact, it can lead to overeating later in the day. Eating a balanced meal when hungry is more beneficial. - Can I eat anything if I work out regularly?
No, even if you work out regularly, following a calorie-deficit diet is crucial for weight loss. Exercise alone cannot offset poor eating habits. - Is cardio the best way to lose weight?
While cardio helps burn calories, pairing it with strength training and a balanced diet is more effective for long-term weight loss and muscle building.
