Lose the carbs, Lose the fat? – Myth #4

And, I will state right from the outset that you will NOT get fat just by eating carbohydrates! [Read more...]

Lose fat by eating less? – Fat Loss Myth #2

We have looked at how futile it is to dramatically reduce your calorie intake in order to lose fat in myth #1. We now know that this approach to weight loss doesn’t work. The same people that try this method though may also take the approach of myth number two. They believe that reducing the frequency with which they eat their meals, will help them achieve fat loss. Their faulty logic assumes that they can lose weight by eating less frequently. [Read more...]

What Is Detoxification?

Detoxification will help to aid in weight loss and promote overall wellness by helping to rid your colon of residual waste and detoxify your system in the process. Most products are all-natural and usually include ginger root, fennel seed, goldenseal, licorice root, rhubarb, and psyllium. People who detox regularly as part of a healthy diet and exercise routine often report that doing so results in fewer instances of constipation, fewer occurrences of fatigue, higher energy levels, and aid in weight loss. They also find that they are less likely to feel bloated or retain an overabundance of water.

What Is Phentremine Civ-XR?

Original prescription phentermine, short for phenyl-tertiary-butylamine, is best known for being a powerful and effective appetite suppressant. Many health and diet enthusiasts may remember it as one of the two active ingredients in the now illegal drug fen-phen, with fenfluramine being the other. Although fen-phen and fenfluramine are now both illegal and considered to be extremely dangerous to use due to the serious heart valve damage they’ve been known to cause, phentermine was not pulled from the market in most countries and is still considered safe enough to use on a very limited basis.

Lose Fat by Eating Less Fat – Fat Loss Myth #3

For a long time now the marketing companies and diet authors have been trying to push home the fact that a low fat diet is a good diet and will lead you to weight loss. Sometimes you simply can’t avoid the message that fat is evil and should be avoided at all costs if you want to stay fit and healthy. While you are out shopping in the supermarket, whole sections of shelves will be dedicated to low fat options. [Read more...]

Exercise slowly and burn fat faster – Fat Loss Myth #6

On the face of it the basis for myth number six seems to make sense as there is evidence which supports what it is saying. It goes like this. If you exercise at a comfortable pace, a pace at which you can continue to hold a conversation, for a long period of time, you will use up more of your body’s fat reserves as this type of exercise relies on fat for fuel rather than short lived carbohydrates. Your body is said to be in a ’steady state’ during this type of exercise, one where the oxygen demands of the body are constantly met by supply. Conversely, during intermittent anaerobic high-intensity workouts, carbs are the primary source of fuel. So, the evidence kind of stacks up doesn’t it? Well, no not really because it doesn’t take into account another characteristic of the high intensity workout. [Read more...]
