The 4 Myths of Dieting
Myth #1: You must eat less to lose weight
Myth #2: You must exercise to lose weight
Myth #3: Faster weight loss is better
Myth #4: Losing pounds is a true measure of success
Myth #1: You must eat less to lose weight.
Fact: Most people trying to lose weight are already eating too little to have long-term success. If you eat too little you will push your body into Starvation Metabolism and NEVER be able to Keep Slim. This myth is the foundation of the Yo-Yo Diet Syndrome. You must always eat MORE than your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) every day in order to restore metabolism, but LESS than your Maintenance Level. These levels are different for everyone. You can find the BMR and Maintenance charts and the safe calorie range for you on pages 18-19 of Keep Canada/Keep America Slim.
Myth # 2: You must exercise to lose weight.
Fact: Exercise has many benefits but is not essential for weight loss. In fact, too much exercise can actually undermine your weight loss, making it difficult to restore metabolism and keep the weight off. On days that you exercise you must ADD some calories to your BMR in order to avoid Starvation Metabolism. Find out how to safely incorporate exercise into your program on pages 22-23 and 37-39 of Keep Canada/Keep America Slim and use the Personal Metabolic Chart on page 102 to discover your own metabolic range when exercising. Or hold off on exercising until you've mastered your new eating habits, which is the real key to success.
Myth # 3: Faster weight loss is better.
Fact: Faster weight loss almost always means unhealthy weight loss and will never result in permanent results. Our compulsion for faster results is a direct result of the marketing machines behind low calorie diets. Lose the weight FAST, gain it back FAST, lose it again FAST, gain it back FAST. This is a great way to increase profits for the diet industry, but is really the foundation of our country's obesity challenge. Find out how this critical misunderstanding has created the epidemic of fat people, and equally important, is the foundation of most degenerative diseases, in the Yo-Yo Diet Conversation on pages 14-16 of Keep Canada/Keep America Slim. Once you have read this, you will never be tempted to trade health for faster "results" again.
Myth # 4: Losing pounds is the true measure of success.
Fact: Your weight has virtually no bearing on your true health or your desired appearance. Based on their weight in relation to their height, most NBA and NFL players are obese. The true measurement of success in "weight" loss is your body fat percentage. Since muscle weighs three times as much as fat while taking up the same space on your body, you can actually gain weight while losing inches on your way to success. Learn more about this important difference on pages 19-22 of Keep Canada/Keep America Slim.
