This leaves many people to wonder - what is the real truth behind these weight loss mysteries?

After consulting his expertise, we have come up with a list of myths that have been revolving around the weight loss debates for years now. 

Obesity Has Nothing to With Biology 

This is inaccurate because obesity is a very complex disorder that has dozens of contributing factors. There are a number of genetic variables that are associated with obesity and many other medical conditions such as PCOS, depression, hypothyroidism, which are all responsible for increasing weight gain chances. 

Additionally, your body also has numerous biological pathways and hormones that manage your body weight. Sometimes they can be dysfunctional, which is why people experience obesity and makes it much harder for them to lose weight. 

Losing Weight is a Linear Process 

Unlike what most people will have you believe, losing weight is not a linear process. There might be days when you lose weight while there are other days when your weight might fluctuate up and down a couple of pounds. This usually happens due to your digestive system carrying more food or holding more water than usual. 

Carbohydrates Are Fattening 

In reality, low-carb diets can actually aid in weight loss. As long as you intake low carb and protein in your diet, you will lose weight. 

Although this does not mean that carbs can cause weight gain - before obesity became a common thing around the 1980s, humans still ate carbs for a long time. In fact, whole foods that are high in carbohydrates are actually very healthy for the human body. 

Eating Less And Moving More 

Keep in mind that fat is simply stored energy and if you want to lose fat, you need to burn more calories than you take in. Naturally, this has made everyone believe that it is only logical to start moving more and eating less would result in weight loss. 

And while that does work in theory, it can be a bad recommendation for people who have serious weight gain problems. The people who end up following this method of losing weight end up regaining their lost weight due to several biochemical and physiological factors.
