Myth List

We are coming up on the busiest month for gyms.

Before getting too deeply involved take the time to read a list of sayings and thoughts that are dead wrong. 

MYTH 27: A PROTEIN BAR IS A GOOD SUBSTITUTION FOR A MEAL

TRUTH: Nope. Protein bars are highly processed, unless you make them yourself. Highly processed food requires fewer calories to digest, so that benefit is diminished. I love protein bars, but I eat them as treats to be eaten instead of, say, a Snickers bar.

Myth 29: Carbs are found only in bread and noodles

TRUTH: Wrong. You also find carbs in grains, starches, fruit, vegetables, dairy, nuts, and seeds.

Myth 46: The only way to lose weight is by cutting out all carbs

TRUTH: The only way to lose the right amount of weight is by adopting a diet than supports your goal, training with weights, and doing some cardio. Your program should include all of these aspects long enough to see a difference. Diet, weights, and cardio—the holy trinity of fitness!
