Why cant i lose weight? - Diet Facts and Fiction:

Fat Loss 4 IdiotsLets start with a fact - everybody can lose weight. Sure, it might be more difficult for some people than for others but we can all lose weight. Today we are going to look at popular dieting myths and see which ones are true, if any.


Fact or Fiction


I'm fat because it runs in the family - its genetic


You are not fat because of genetics. You might be more prone to certain conditions because of genetics, you may store weight in a different way and in different places to other people and you will definitely have a different figure to the next person. But you are not fat because it runs in the family. You are overweight because you eat more calories than you burn. There are plenty of resources on this site to help get you started losing weight - and you can lose weight.
