Summer’s nearly over, meaning that Fall is near and Winter is right around the corner. Now, as is usual, this is when the exercising and the dieting stops and you won’t pick it up until “New” Years’ resolution season starts coming around and the floodgates to the gym open. Well, to help you avoid losing zeal for the gym, we’ll list several weight loss myths to avoid taken from a list of 18 on MSN.

Remove Fat/Carbs, Lose Weight- Usually a get-slim-quick diet revolves around this idea but it’s far from the truth. To lose weight is not to cut out essential substances your body needs. You HAVE to be calorie deficient. Eat less calories than what your body burns throughout the day and you will start to lose weight noticeably.

Lift Less, Look Toned- To get toned you need larger muscles and less fat. To achieve this it’s key to incorporate heavy lifting into your routine. No you won’t look like a bodybuilder since acquiring that body requires a very high calorie diet and a power-lifting regimen.

Nighttime Eating Will Make You Fat- This one is interesting. I’m sure most of us have heard that eating at night is no good since our metabolism is slower than in the morning. Well, apparently, not true. An expert stated,”A calorie is a calorie no matter when you eat it.” That’s simple. So continue the calorie deficit and you’ll be fine.

Now That You’re At Goal, Its Easy To Keep It- It took a lot of work to get to that goal, so wouldn’t it be just as much to keep it? A study showed that for subjects to maintain their weight required a 40 minute exercise in addition to watching their plate.

Treadmills Accurately Show Calories Burned- Not so much. Most exercise machines including ellipticals and bikes are not accurate given the fact they dont take into consideration body fat and whether you’re using assistance. Use the screen as a barometer. If it goes up then yes, you’re reaching your goals.

Don’t be another statistic. Remain consistent in your exercise. We at CWI Underwriters wish you a happy and healthy lifestyle.
