In my last post I exposed that simply eating a low-calorie diet is not all that is required to lose weight, that is a myth. Today I am going to share with you another common nutrition and weight loss myth and that is:

All You Need to Do is Exercise More
FALSE: Exercise is obviously important for your overall health and well-being, but while exercising a lot while eating junk may allow you to lose a couple of pounds, you’ll be doing nothing for your health. And, as soon as the exercise slips a little, those pounds will just be waiting to slip back on. Add to the benefits of your healthy nutrition plan by including cardio, strength training, and mindful exercise into your weekly regime.

In my last post I exposed that all carbs are bad is truly a myth. Today I am going to share with you another common nutrition and weight loss myth and that is:

Increasing Your Protein Intake Burns Fat 
FALSE: Eating protein doesn’t in itself cause weight loss. It does keep you fuller longer than just eating carbohydrates, which can result in less food being ingested, but what’s important about protein is that one of its roles is being a building block of muscle. Muscle requires more energy to run its cells, so the more muscle you have, the more energy you can burn even when standing still. Eating more protein does not guarantee more muscles – you must DO THE WORK to get the muscles – EXERCISE! Strength training is an important part of any weight loss plan, so even if you eat the same amount of calories, you can use more and potentially lose excess fat. Eat a small source of protein with every meal or snack, like lean meat, eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, or beans.
