Summary:
Myth #1: Being overweight means you are unhealthy
Being overweight may increase your chances of obesity and risk of developing chronic illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer but this does not mean you are unhealthy.

Myth #2: Juice Cleanses are the best way to lose weight
According to a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, "There's no scientific research that juice cleanses or liquid detoxes provide benefits in the short or long term, and it's not an overall healthy approach to eating"

Myth #3: Eating fat makes you Fat
The only real culprit of increased body fat is excessive caloric intake. You gain more weight by eating more calories than you burn, and it doesn't matter where those calories derive from. Eating unsaturated fats such as olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds can help your heart, skin, and overall mental health.

Myth #4: Cardio is the answer
Cardio exercise is fantastic at keeping your heart and lungs in tip-top condition. But many falsely believe it is the only way to meet weight loss goals and burn fat.

Myth #5: Eating less works
A simple and quick solution at first, right? Well, don't even think about it! One of the worst things you can do to lose body fat is drastically reduce your caloric intake. Eating less or not eating at all can result in damaging your metabolism.
