How much truth is there in these things, have you tried to know? There are many reasons behind reducing weight properly. Exercising in the wrong way, taking the wrong diet etc., but trusting the myth is also a big reason not to try.

We are told about many such diets, products, workouts, etc., which claim that they will help in quick weight loss. However, the truth behind them is something else. You should also know these important things and throw out the myths from your mind, which are hindering you in your weight loss journey.

Lifestyle coach DrSnehalAlsule is very popular on Instagram. She often shares desi diets, exercises and health-related information. Through one of his posts, he has conveyed the reality of some such myths to us. He has put 4 such fat loss truths in front of us, which till now we considered myths. Let us bust all those myths for the sake of this article and make your journey easy.

1. Not a healthy diet, more exercise is necessary

When it comes to losing weight, there is no substitute for a healthy diet. Let us tell you that in the matter of losing weight, we follow the ratio of 70:30. 70% of work is done by diet and 30% of work is done by exercise. Exercise is important, but if your diet is not proper, you will still gain weight instead of losing it. Eating right will not only help you lose weight, but it will also make you feel good from the inside.

2. Fat burner will reduce weight

There are many products in the market that claim to help you burn fat, but most of them are a complete waste of money. The only way to lose weight is through a healthy diet and exercise. Fat burners may give you a slight boost in energy or suppress your appetite, but they won't magically cause weight loss. Keep in mind that losing weight does not mean that it will be heavy on your pocket.

3. You Can't Eat Carbs

Carbs are an important part of a healthy diet. They provide energy to your body and without them; you will feel tired and lethargic. Good carbs such as unprocessed whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans provide vitamins, minerals, fibre and many important phytonutrients. Also, promote your good health. You can eat roti, rice, dosa, paratha, roti everything and still lose weight.

4. Weight will be reduced only by intense exercise and cardio

When it comes to exercise, most people think of intense exercises like running or weightlifting. However, walking is underrated when it comes to weight loss. You can get an effective result just by walking. It can be a great way to clear your mind and reduce stress.

DrSnehal concludes, "Weight loss is not an easy task, but it can be confusing. Just stick to the basics and slowly watch the magic happen. Losing weight isn't just about looking good It's about feeling good and living a healthy life."
