There are so many fat loss myths out there and we’ve all heard of friends and family doing crazy stuff with their diets:
Living off nothing but shakes and smoothies.
Fasting for days on end.
Detoxing with cayenne pepper, lemon juice and honey…
It’s pretty clear that all of these are dangerous, potentially harmful, and, quite frankly, ridiculous.

Those that on the surface maybe don’t seem quite as mad, yet when we look into them, are just as absurd as the above. When you think about it, there are actually quite a few, so let’s investigate the top 5.
1. TOO FEW CALORIES CAUSES WEIGHT GAIN
2. YOU NEED A POST-WORKOUT PROTEIN SHAKE
3. FAT BURNERS SPEED UP FAT LOSS
4. AVOID SATURATED FAT AT ALL COSTS
5. DON’T EAT FRUIT, TOO MUCH SUGAR
