Diet Busters - Unraveling the Myths of Popular Dietary Plans

By Josh Wintrop

Did you know that children's books and urban legends are not the only sources of popular myths? Myths also flourish in the weight loss industry especially when you read some of the most popular diet plans.

It's almost like some of these so-called diet books were really just fantasy books written about a big, magic diet weight loss granting genie. Don't get hooked on these fantasy stories and myths!

These stories won't help you lose your stubborn excess body fat! You might even be doing permanent damage to your body because many of these programs have no scientific proof that they work.

So here are some of the most popular weight loss myths that you need to avoid. By knowing the truths about proper weight loss solution, you can stop your fad dieting schemes and start living a healthy lifestyle.

Myth number one will tell you that for a diet plan to be effective, it should be meticulously prepared with laser sharp measurements of consumption. This means you have chart your calorie cycles, plot everything, and tailor your diet to your metabolic rates with lots of yada-yada on the side.

Thank goodness the reality is simpler. The most effective diet plan is not complicated. The more restrictive the diet the more likely you are to fail. The best diet is one you can stick to. And a simple, daily meal plan is what you need.

Another myth that a lot of diet plans espouse is that you gain weight because of the things you're eating, as opposed to how much you're eating. This is probably caused by diet-fad-guru's twisted idea of how nutrition works.

The key to weight loss is to lose calories. You have to create a deficit in your calorie consumption in order not to accumulate fat. This means that if you consume more calories than you can burn, then you will become the heavyweight fat champion of the world. You need to burn calories. By doing so, you are not allowing the fats to stay in your body.

3) This myth holds that fasting is bad for the body. This is one of those truths that begins with a speck of truth. We know that starving is generally bad for the body. But there is a significant difference between starvation and food addiction.

Your brain will make you want food, whether or not you really need it, like an addiction. So even if you're full, when dinner time comes around you'll start wanting to eat. You're not hungry, you're just addicted to eating - conditioned to operate in a certain fashion.

When you develop techniques to control your food cravings you have gained powerful tools to fight against unwanted fat. A flexible fasting program helps you eliminate the cravings due to food addiction and better control your calorie intake.
