Have you ever tried to lose weight by eliminating certain foods you eat and found yourself cheating on your diet? Most people have tried to lose weight through methods like starvation, eliminating snacks, as well as cutting back on eating fast foods. Many people may think that these methods of dieting work. Unfortunately, there are myths about how to lose weight that prevent people from reaching their weight loss goals.

According to Sarah Albert from Web MD, one myth about weight loss is that you shouldn’t eat between meals. This may cause people to ultimately eat more or snack on foods that are unhealthy. Sarah Albert states, “But having snacks in between meals might actually help you eat less, and starve off the urge to overeat or binge later.”

Other weight loss myths are cutting out carbs entirely from our diets and consistent eating and exercising. As we grow older, our metabolism slows down, making it more difficult to lose weight.

According to Sarah Albert, we should eat good carbs like fruits and vegetables and whole grains. We should also choose between eating less or exercising more in order to lose the weight. Sarah Albert states, “As a result, you often have to either eat less or exercise more to avoid gaining weight.” As there are many misconceptions on the proper way to lose weight, we must educate ourselves enough to avoid sabotaging our own weight loss success.
