Today I want to share with you 5 common weight loss myths – and why they’re utterly wrong.

As a certified personal trainer who’s worked in both the medical and fitness fields, I’ve encountered a lot of people with a lot of varying beliefs about weight loss.

In fact, that was one of the main reasons I pursued my weight loss specialist certification. I wanted to know what was actually true…and what was essentially just rumor.

To this day, I work with my clients to overturn these ways of thinking. Because rather than speed weight loss along, most of these myths actually IMPEDE weight loss.

And we can’t have any of that. Weight loss is hard enough as is!

Does intermittent fasting for fat loss work?

Intermittent fasting is one of the most confusing eating methods out there.

There are tons of studies examining it’s effects on weight loss, but not a lot of helpful conclusions. In fact, I’ve been meaning to write about intermittent fasting for awhile now, but honestly felt a bit overwhelmed.

Ultimately, I knew I had to dive into this topic and sift through the research myself.

Which I finally did! And WOW is there a lot out there.

This post discusses everything you need to know about intermittent fasting for fat loss: Does it work? Is it safe? What actually happens to your body when you fast? Is it more effective than just restricting your calories every day?

Nowadays, we’re constantly bombarded with different weight loss programs and products that claim to work wonders.

In fact, it’s nearly impossible to scroll through social media and not see them advertised. With over 40% of US adults weighing in obese, effective weight loss programs have never been more needed.

But unfortunately, most just don’t deliver.
