Hello pals,
This is a lists of myths we have busted ourselves about weight loss or exercise.
My Myth: You don't eat much when you are trying to lose weight.
Busted: I eat more and more often than I ever have. The difference is that I am eating real food and not junk.
Myth Busted: You don't have to starve yourself on a diet.
What are the Myths you have busted?
Happy Thursday,
Connie Lynn

Eating after 8pm causes you to gain weight......not true for me.0

Myth: You have to buy special foods to lose weight.
Busted: I am cutting calories using everything I've always used! I just need to measure and portion correctly.0 -
Eating after 8pm causes you to gain weight......not true for me.
I have actually been told its good to eat ( not alot ) before bed. It helps your body from not going into "starvation" mode while your sleeping.
Not sure of how true it is, but I eat after 8 all the time and no weight gain.... actually I have been losing it0 -
It's a good thing that im learning how to eat, because i get the hungry horrors after 8. So it's been a bowl of cereal or popcorn for me.0

Hi pals,
The ones you listed are great.
Another one for me is: Myth- We will have cravings for the stuff we used to eat.
Myth busted: I don't crave any of the stuff I used to eat. I crave healthy food now and automatically reach for it.
Myth about exercise. Myth: You have to push yourself really hard during your work out.
Myth busted: Moderate workouts, in which I don't push to hard, have helped me stay on track and enjoy exercise. I am losing weight wether I work out or not. I work out for other reasons, that do not have to do with weight loss. I actually have to eat more if I am going to work out.
Lets here some more of yours.

MYTH: no pain no gain
what I have found is moderate exercise 5-6 days a week has been more effective for me than busting my *kitten* 4 days a week and not being able to walk the next day. I am seeing better results with the lighter workouts, more muscle tone and even weight loss!0
