1. "Detoxes, fit teas and waist trainers help with weight loss."
— Rob - Nothing Barred Fitness (@Rob_NBF) April 14, 2023
Just no. Anything that promises to make fat loss really easy and doesn't require you to change your diet or do any exercise is a fad. Avoid. -
2. "You have to sweat while working out."
— Rob - Nothing Barred Fitness (@Rob_NBF) April 14, 2023
Sweating has nothing to do with fat loss. You can lose WEIGHT by sweating, but it's just water weight. As soon as you rehydrate, it will be back. Sweating doesn't tell you anything other than your body was trying to cool itself down. -
3. "Ab exercises will get you a six-pack."
— Rob - Nothing Barred Fitness (@Rob_NBF) April 14, 2023
Afraid not. You can't see your abs because you've got fat covering them. You've got to lose the fat, and ab exercises won't do that. -
4. "Eating carbs will make you fat."
— Rob - Nothing Barred Fitness (@Rob_NBF) April 14, 2023
The only thing that makes you fat is providing more energy than your body can use. You can eat high carb, high fat, enjoy some junk from time to time, and you won't gain fat if you don't have a surplus of energy. -
5. "Cardio is best for weight loss."
— Rob - Nothing Barred Fitness (@Rob_NBF) April 14, 2023
You don't need to do any cardio to lose weight. It can work, but it's a pretty inefficient way of doing it. It may take you 45 minutes to burn 500 calories... or you could just make some simple diet changes to remove 500 calories in 0 minutes -
6. "Fasting is superior for fat loss."
— Rob - Nothing Barred Fitness (@Rob_NBF) April 14, 2023
It isn't. It's just a way to manage your calorie intake across the day.
If it works for you, have at it, but you may make muscle loss more likely. -
7. "You should eat 'fat burning foods'".
— Rob - Nothing Barred Fitness (@Rob_NBF) April 14, 2023
You know those things you see on Instagram and Facebook like the below?
Yeah, ignore those.
Everything is a fat burning food or a fat gaining food depending on whether you're in a calorie deficit or surplus. -
I don't get any of my clients to follow fads or BS with my fat loss plans.
— Rob - Nothing Barred Fitness (@Rob_NBF) April 14, 2023
Just a flexible and sustainable approach to nutrition that allows them to eat foods they like. pic.twitter.com/l7yPrgCrn1 -
