Do you really to see another article on losing weight? Does the world need another article? I'm guessing you know the answer, or you wouldn't be reading this now. The answer is yes. There is so much misinformation going around about how to lose weight that the truth needs to be told more often.

I know you've heard the misinformation. Some of the worst is that you can lose 11 pounds in 7 days. Actually that is true, kind of. Funny thing is, you wouldn't have lost 11 pounds of fat. And that's the whole point right? Why lose water or muscle? Its the fat you want to lose.

Dieting gimmicks just don't work. Saying don't eat that pasta, or have a grapefruit on every third day for breakfast aren't the answer. Also, it's not like when you learn the secrets that you can suddenly then just go eat and do whatever and you'll keep the weight off. It doesn't work like that.

Okay, so what is the secret? Fat is a very powerful storehouse of energy. It's physically impossible to lose more than about a pound a week of it. Seriously. There is just too many calories stored up in fat to lose it quicker. Also, how long did it take you to gain the fat? Did it happen in a week? Was it just in a month?

No, obviously. So, the expectation that you can take it off in just days is nonsense. Deep down inside you know it. It's just that we're all looking for quick ways out. I get that. I do too, but it's not going to help you in the long term.
