5 Fat Loss Myths Debunked

When it comes to fat loss there are many myths floating around the internet and news media. I will debunk a few…….

1️⃣High Reps Burn More Fat.
.
Lifting heavy weights that really challenge your body is a far more effective strategy. When trying to lose fat you want to train for muscle and strength gain.
.
Lightweights and higher reps might give you that burning sensation and a pump, but that doesn’t mean it’s giving you the results you’re seeking.
.
You should worry more about the calories you’ll burn in the 24 hours after training. Not what you burn during training.
.
2️⃣Low Rest Periods Burn More Fat.
.
If your rest period is too low you can’t lift a weight heavy enough to actually change your body. Rest longer.
.
3️⃣Cardio Burns Tons of Fat.
.
Do cardio for general health and recovery, not for fat loss. You can do zero cardio and have a 6-pack. I’m able to maintain visible abs year round with no cardio. It’s the icing on the cake for fat loss. The 20 of the 80/20.
.
4️⃣You Can Spot Reduce with Isolation Exercises.
.
People are still doing 1000 crunches per day hoping to trim down their waist. It doesn’t work that way. You get your body fat low enough to see your abs from proper training and diet. Then, and only then, will some heavy, loaded ab work make your abs pop/stand out more.
.
This applies to all muscle groups. Heavy, compound movements will burn more calories and get you leaner than wasting time with tons of lateral raises and pushdowns.
.
5️⃣Total Calories Are all That Matter.
.
This comes from an old school bodybuilding mindset where the single most important thing in life is how you look. Gut health, reducing inflammation, and lowering stress and anxiety are all super important.
.
If you improve those things with higher quality foods you’ll lose fat faster. Micros over macros.
