5 Weight-Loss Myths You Need to Break Up With
These little-known but powerful missteps could be quietly derailing your fat-loss journey. Fix them, and your next breakthrough may be closer than you think.
Myth: Cut more calories, lose more weight.
Reality: Calorie restriction can slow metabolism, dip thyroid function, and raise hunger hormones.
Fix: Follow a structured, balanced diet plan that meets your energy and nutrient needs. We offer customised diet plans that help you get real results.
Myth: Calories matter, your gut doesn’t.
Reality: Your microbiome affects how you store fat and respond to food. An imbalanced gut can lead to stubborn weight.
Fix: Eat more prebiotic fibre (onion, garlic, banana) and fermented foods (yoghurt). Aim for 30+ plant foods/week for gut diversity.
Myth: More workouts = faster fat loss.
Reality: Excess burnout with a poor sleep schedule spikes cortisol levels leading to cravings and more fat storage.
Fix: Prioritise recovery days, sleep 7–8 hours, and add low-stress movements (walking, stretching, light yoga).
Myth: Workout covers daily calorie intake.
Reality: When dieting, your non-exercise activity (NEAT) drops without you realising — costing you hundreds of calories/day.
Fix: Set step goals, break up long sitting spells, and keep micro-movements high.
Myth: High protein = diet done.
Reality: Dumping protein into one meal or relying on low-quality sources stalls muscle recovery and appetite control.
Fix: Distribute protein evenly across meals. Mix animal + plant sources to improve digestion, boost satiety, and support steadier metabolism.
If you’ve hit a plateau despite doing “all the right things,” one or more of these sneaky mistakes might be at play.
