    Pro tip: Don't rely on Livestrong, Dr Oz, random google searches, blogs, buzzfeed or your cat for dieting advice.

    I will add other factors later .

    Do we get points if we can guess them beforehand? My guesses are:

    1. Eating sugar will stop you losing weight.
    2. Always eat breakfast as soon as you wake up to kick-start your metabolism.
    3. Juice cleanses are great for removing toxins from your body.
    4. A teaspoon of cinnamon everyday helps shred fat.

    Don't forget the lemon water and cayenne pepper!

    Exactly why I didn't include our canine friends. However, I'm not a fan of my dog's insistence to occasionally eat grass, purge and immediately regurgitate. I mean, I'm not a ruminant (and neither is he) so I don't see the point in doing it twice.

    5. Oil pulling will help you lose weight, remove toxins and makes an excellent substitute for brushing your teeth.

    So, this was meant to be a post about wacky yet persistent weight loss myths, right? That's what you meant to say? ;)

    6. You must eat every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism working
    7. Weight lifting will bulk you up and not make you look thin. Cardio is best.

    Hi everyone .
    Although my low calories diet I kept gaining weight , I was pretty sure something is going wrong.
    I knew that it is not about food or exercises only but must be hidden facts... After researching couple articles I found out must know informations that I would like to share with you people.
    Factors that don't help loose weight are:
    1- eating more than 400 cal at dinner or before sleep is converted into body fat( due to lack secretion of insulin at that time.
    2- eating carb at nights .
    3- life stress might be bad during diet cz it helps our body to gain weight due to certain Hormone secretion like Cortisol.
    4- less sleeping , if you sleep you don't eat, your body secrete hormones that burns your body sugar etc.
    5- Sex by itself doesn't play a big role in loosing calories .
    6- if you are taking certain kind of medications
    What do you thing about that ?!
    I will add other factors later .

    I eat more than 400 calories for dinner and before sleep. I eat carbs at night. I have a low rate of body fat. You must just be a freak.
