5 Common Myths About Losing Belly Fat

Myth #1 Spot Reduce

I'm sorry but this is nothing more than a tall tale. Spot reducing is the idea that you can reduce fat in a specific part of the body. In actual fact, you must reduce your overall bodyfat percentage.

Myth #2 High Reps Will Get you Toned

The idea that extremely high reps 20+ will get you toned is preposterus. The body has been shown to work far more effectively in the 6-12 rep range for promoting strength and muscle growth.

Myth #3 Crash Dieting Works

Not a chance, when you crash diet and starve your body of nutrients it goes into starvation mode and stores body fat. Thats not what we want. Eating smaller meals more frequently is a much better approach.

Myth #4 Cardio Can Only Be Done In the Morning

I've heard this way too many times. Cardio should be done on an empty stomach only in the morning. The fact of the matter is cardio will get done when you have the time. We have busy lives and waking up 2 hours before work just really isn't in the game plan. Post workout cardio in the form of hiit is a fantastic method and should most definitely be checked out by people who want to get their motabolism revving.

Myth #5 Fat Makes You Fat

Sure unhealthy fats providing excess calories could make you fat. As a general rule of thumb, fat does not make you fat, excess calories do. Don't be one of the people who neglect fat, healthy fat sources are part of a blalanced diet. Things like peanuts, peanut butter and fish oil should be a part of everyones diet.
