The Most “Stupid” Myth Ever in Fitness

Today, I want to talk about one of the most stupid myths ever. I’m sure you have heard this also. What is this amazing myth?

Here you go………When you exercise your fat will turn to muscle and if you stop training, your muscles will turn to fat.

Let me ask you one question: can you change an apple to a board of plywood? I can’t and I’m sure you can’t either. It is exactly the same with muscle and fat.

They are 2 different tissues. If you see someone that was previously very muscular but now is overweight, here’s the reason: He stopped exercising but he didn’t adjust his nutritional habits. In this situation, muscles atrophy (weaken and reduce in size) and metabolism slows, leading to weight gain (fat). When you have more muscle mass, you need to eat more calories to maintain that muscle tissue.

If a person stops working out and keeps eating the same amount of calories that she was eating when she was exercising 3 to 5 days a weeks, what do you think will happened to the extra calories? Those calories will be stored as fat cells.

That’s it! One more Myth Buster blow out!

After reading this email, if someone tries to tell you this myth, I hope you will be able to tell him it is only a myth and not the reality.

The Truth – Calorie In VS Calorie Out

Losing weight should be an easy calculation between calories IN and calories OUT right?  Wrong!  For weight loss success, follow the Golden Rule of Nutrition from the Express Fat Loss Program.

For many years we have read that in order to lose weight, we need to burn more calories than we eat. This is a real fact, and it is easy to understand: to be able to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you consume.

But hold on for one minute! I will explain something that seems very important in theory, but might not actually work in practice.

Imagine someone who needs around 2500 calories per day to maintain his basal metabolic rate. As you know, in order to lose 1 pound a week, you need to create a deficit of 500 calories per day. In fact, 1 pound of fat equals 3500 calories. If you need 2500 calories per day and you only take 2000 calories, you should lose your pound a week easily right? Not necessary, and let me show you why.

People who don’t follow the Golden Rule of Nutrition from the Express Fat Loss Program may not succeed with the calorie deficit theory.

Imagine you never eat breakfast and you only have 2 meals a day. A big lunch around noon and a big dinner around 7:00 pm. For you lunch, if you grab some kind of fast food, it can easily be around 700 calories. Now for your dinner, it’s the carbohydrate fiesta – pasta with creamy sauce, garlic bread, why not a glass of wine and to make the perfect finish, a piece of chocolate cake. That is probably around 1200 to 1300 thousand calories and maybe more.

If you calculate the calories from those two meals, you have around 2000 calories. If this is all you eat you should still be in sufficient calorie deficit to lose weight right? Not at all my friend! Even if you are in calorie deficit by 500 calories a day, I will promise you, you will gain weight, not lose it.

The theory of calorie IN vs calorie OUT only works if your nutrition follows the Golden Rule of Nutrition from the Express Fat Loss program.
The next time you grab your lunch or dinner, remember this article. And please don’t forget to take your breakfast EVERY DAY!  This is the golden rule #1.

5 Worst Food for Weight Loss

You already know your nutrition is an important part of your success
in a weight loss program. Today I will tell you the 5 worst foods
you can eat during your program if you want to get back in shape!

Sometimes you don’t realize the bad effects these foods have on your
body, so I really recommend avoiding your 5 enemies:

ENEMY #1- Trans Fat and Saturated Fat: eliminate all the
trans fat from your nutrition, and keep your
saturated fat to a minimum.
ENEMY #2 – Simple Sugars: try to keep simple sugars to a
minimum in your nutrition. The worst enemies are
table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup. Pay
special attention to hidden high-fructose corn
syrup, you will find it hiding a lot in cookies,
pastry, candy, chocolates etc.

ENEMY #3 - White Flour: you don’t find any nutriments in
this type of flour and you take in bad
calories.  NO nutritional value and full of
calories – it’s wasted food!

ENEMY #4 – Rice Cake: A lot of people think rice cakes are
a good snack, but it’s got a high glycemic index.
That means it brings your blood sugar to high, too
quickly. Try to avoid that, because it will leave
you tired and hungry again!  Instead, you can try
a whole grain tortilla.

ENEMY #5 – Soda: You need to give up your soda – even diet
soda! Start to drink more water instead. Add a
slice of lemon and you will love it – and you’ll
feel better too.  Diet sodas contain a lot of
chemicals and preservatives your body just doesn’t
need, and they encourage a ’sweet tooth’.

Stay away from your 5 enemies, and you will see a big difference in
how your clothes fit after a few months for sure!

7 myths on weight loss…. busted!

Weight Loss Myth #1:  Eating Late at Night Makes You Fat

Express Fat Loss  Facts: Your body doesn’t have an internal timer that causes late night eats to be stored directly as fat. Weight gain happens when you eat too much and exercise too little – you could eat too much in the morning, the afternoon, or late at night and it would all result in weight gain.

Your Solution: Consider how many calories you eat and burn each day, rather than when you eat.
Weight loss Myth #2: Snacking Promotes Weight Gain
