Diet myths are popping up more and more these days! And you know what? That's actually a good thing! The reason it's a good thing is because it's a sign that more and more people are starting to look into losing weight and improving their health! Of course it's a bad thing that many companies and individuals are out here trying to capitalize off of this by spewing out a bunch of diet myths simply so they can redirect your attention to their "latest and greatest" diet program or diet pill! In this article here I'm going to talk about 6 of those myths I came across pretty frequently, and that I highly recommend you avoid...
Myth #1 - It's not that important to detoxify...
This is certainly a myth! It is very important that you naturally detoxify your body. The reason why is very simple: ALL of our bodies contain waste and toxins in it from the foods we eat, the things we drink, and even the freaking air we breathe!
Naturally detoxifying is a major component to getting in great health and getting a great looking body. Not only will it remove dangerous toxins in your body, it will also help stop bloating and gas issues that plague so many of us (including myself... which was VERY often!).
Myth #2 - NOTHING will produce permanent results...
Sure, this is certainly the case if you are on a fad diet or you take diet pills. Those unnatural approaches to weight loss will never bring permanent results. However, if you are staying 100% natural (natural diet program, natural supplements, natural foods), and if you stay 100% consistent, then it is 100% possible to get permanent results.
Myth #3 - You shouldn't drink that much water...
Yes, this is true. You shouldn't drink a RIDICULOUS amount of water. However, you must still drink at least 1/2 your body-weight in ounces of fresh water daily for best results. To some, that actually seems like too much. Well, if that is the case, then I have a little riddle for those folks: If our bodies are primarily made up of water, then....
Myth #4 - A little sleep is all that is needed...
To improve and protect your health, to lose weight, to burn fat, to build lean muscle tissue, and to have natural energy all day long, you MUST get at least 7 hours of sleep every night. Otherwise, the EXACT opposite of what I just mentioned will occur.
Myth #5 - You should only eat a couple of BIG meals a day...
Eating big meals will force your metabolism to slow down because your digestive system is overworked trying to process all of the calories you just consumed. This is obviously something you don't want to have happen... or else you'll end up storing calories as body fat!

Myth #6 - Eating frequently is pointless...
The best solution to myth #5 above is eating more frequently. However, many so-called professionals out here are trying to convince people who eating smaller meals more frequently is pointless.
Eating small meals more often (such as 4-6 small meals every 2-3 hours) is incredibly beneficial in so many ways. You'll hunger pangs will decrease, your boost your metabolism, you'll keep your digestive system running smoothly, and so much more.
So, as you can see, avoiding those 6 diet myths can in turn not only bring you amazing results quicker than ever before, they will actually make your dieting and exercising efforts more easier, more affordable, and more guaranteed!
