🚫 5 Fat Loss Myths That Are Keeping You Stuck
You don’t need more willpower—you need better info. Let’s break down the myths that confuse and burn out so many women trying to do this right.
Here’s what’s actually true:
1️⃣ Myth: You need to eat 1200 calories or less
Truth:
For most women, 1200 calories is closer to what a toddler needs. Eating that low for too long tanks your energy, slows your metabolism, and often backfires with binge cycles.
👉 Fat loss happens in a calculated deficit—not starvation mode.
2️⃣ Myth: Carbs make you fat
Truth:
Carbs are your body’s preferred fuel, especially for training and brain function. Cutting them too low leads to fatigue, mood swings, and muscle loss.
👉 Fat gain happens when you’re in a consistent calorie surplus—not because you ate rice.
3️⃣ Myth: You need to do hours of cardio
Truth:
Cardio burns calories in the moment, but strength training builds lean muscle that increases your metabolism long-term.
👉 You don’t have to choose one—but don’t skip the weights if you want true body recomposition.
4️⃣ Myth: The scale tells the full story
Truth:
Your weight fluctuates from hormones, stress, salt, sleep, and more.
👉 Progress is better tracked through measurements, photos, how clothes fit, strength, and energy. The scale is just one tool—not the truth.
5️⃣ Myth: You can’t eat what you love and still lose fat
Truth:
You can have results and still eat tacos, birthday cake, or wine. The key is learning to manage your intake overall—so there’s room for joy and discipline.
👉 All-or-nothing thinking is what keeps most women stuck.
💬 If you’ve fallen for any of these, don’t feel bad. Most of us did. But the good news?
You can unlearn the extremes and start fresh—with the truth on your side.
