Fat-loss
is a topic that is just rife with myths,
misconceptions, incorrect beliefs and
outright lies! Here are five common
fat-loss myths that could be holding
you back from achieving the fast, effective
fat-loss your body is actually capable
of.

Fat-Loss
Myth #1 - Diets Don't Work
Diets actually
quite often DO work (even the Hollywood South
Beach Crab Taco Cookie Diet). It's just what
happens AFTER the diet finishes that's the
problem. The metabolism has been slowed down
by prolonged low caloric intake without proper
training. And then when the person goes back
to their "normal" eating, they go
back to their NORMAL eating...the eating that
added the extra fat in the first place.
I look at a
"diet" as a tool and it's a tool
that can be used short-term for a specific
purpose.
The LIFESTYLE
is what you do when you're not on a specific
diet and THAT is where people generally go
wrong and then blame the diet.

Myth #2 - Eating Very Low-Calorie is Bad For
Fat Loss
Another outright
myth...eating very low calories (and even
complete fasting) can be very GOOD for fat
loss. It creates a much bigger caloric deficit,
which in turn forces the body to rely on stored
fat for energy.
The trick here
is that you don't want to eat very low-calorie
like that for LONG...never more than a few
days. When you eat very low-calorie for long
stretches, THAT is when you run into trouble
with metabolic slowdown.
A few days here
and there can be a nice kick-start to get
fat-loss moving again...just don't fall in
love with the results of a few days and keep
doing it too long!

Myth #3 - "I Want To Get Toned"
NO training
is going to get you "toned" because
that doesn't exist. Getting "toned"
simply means building muscle and burning fat.
You can't tone a muscle any more than you
can paint a cloud. You have to build the muscle
to have it and you have burn the fat so you
can see it.
"Toning,"
to me, is simply a way of describing ineffective
training. It's a person picking up a weight
that is not challenging to their muscles and
lifting it just enough to completely avoid
any discomfort.
And then they
wonder why they're not "toned up"
and quit doing anything altogether because
they didn't see any results.
So that's my
public service announcement for the day. Don't
tone...LIFT! And be proud of the muscle you
have...it's what gives your body actual SHAPE
and what makes you look like a healthy human
being!

Myth #4 - High-Rep Light Weight Training is
the Best Training Style to Burn Fat
Here's the thing...light
weight, high-rep training CAN be effective
for burning fat while preserving muscle IF
you do it correctly. If you flail around and
don't push yourself, you won't see results.
In my experience,
the BEST training style for fat-loss is a
mix of heavier training, to preserve mass
and strength, and lighter, high-rep training
that focuses on Lactic Acid accumulation.
When Lactic
Acid accumulates in the body, this changes
the acidity (the pH) in the bloodstream. Your
body reacts to this by secreting Growth Hormone,
which is a potent fat-burning and muscle-preserving
hormone.
The key to achieving
THAT result is that you have to push yourself.
This isn't light-weight EASY high-rep training
that accomplishes nothing. This is HARD light-weight,
high-rep training that burns while you're
doing it, prolongs that burn then makes you
end your sets because you can't hold onto
the weight any longer.
THAT is effective
high-rep training for fat loss.

Myth #5 - To Lose Fat You Have to Totally
Deprive Yourself of the Foods You Love
Totally wrong.
You DO have to CONTROL yourself and not let
food control you, but the LAST thing you want
to have in your head while you're dieting
is that you'll never be able to eat the foods
you love again.
Because when
you starting thinking about that, that is
ALL you will be thinking about.
And that is
where the concept of the "cheat meal"
or "free meal" comes in. When you're
on a fat-loss program, you actually SHOULD
have a cheat meal where you eat those foods
that you LOVE to eat but are probably terrible
for you :). The key is that you PLAN when
you eat these foods - you don't ever let it
happen by accident.
A planned cheat
is light-years different than giving in to
a craving and blowing your diet. A planned
cheat puts YOU in control of your food intake.
And the cool
thing is, when you've been on a restricted
eating plan for awhile, that cheat meal will
actually SPUR fat loss! I ALWAYS include cheat
meals in every fat-loss program I write. You
need it mentally and you benefit tremendously
from it physically.
