I feel like my brain has been in myth busters the last few weeks. I've started calorie counting to lose the unfortunate covid "19" lbs I gained over the course of the last year. Over the course of the last few weeks, I've learned so many ideas I've held to be fact/truth, are not in fact true.
-
I'm in starvation mode. Seriously, this has always been a hard one to believe for me but I felt like I wouldn't be led to believe something that was false. My logical brain however, would tell me, when people are actually starving, they are losing weight. Logical brain was right.
-
Basically everything to do with my metabolism. Stoking it by eating more. I've ruined my metabolism. I'm learning all the things I've heard and learned previously about my metabolism have not been entirely accurate. My metabolism is just fine (barring thyroid disorder and/or PCOS).
-
I'm not exercising enough. I've always exercised, always been athletic with muscular build. I'm learning that though exercise is key to health and can help with weight loss, as is frequently said here, you cannot outrun your fork. This is really tough for me. I love exercise. I wish it were as easy as, exercise to lose weight but unfortunately, I've found the truth of the matter is that I need to pay attention to what I'm actually eating.
-
Eat more to lose weight. Eating more got me where I'm at. Eating more does not help me to lose weight. I do see people post here, that they eat more and lose weight. Congratulations to you! I want to be you lol. I don't know how that works, so for me and my body, it's a myth.
What are some myths you have encountered on your weight loss journey? Retraining your brain is so hard!! Thank you all for sharing your myth busters with me, it's been a true learning experience!
