Are You Falling For These 5 Common Health Myths?

...these common myths could be keeping you fat and unhealthy!

By Kevin DiDonato MS, CES—Level 1 Certified Precision Nutrition and Certified Personal Trainer

If you’re like me, then you probably grew up with certain beliefs when it came to health or even losing weight.

Coming from an Italian family, who spent a lot of time sitting around a large table with tons of calorie-rich foods that I was told to eat!

Now, this information may have been passed down from your grandparents, to your parents, and finally to you who may be dispelling the same information to your children or even your children’s children.

But here’s the thing:

Nutrition and health advice has changed over the years.  What was popular 20 years ago, may not be popular in today’s culture.

And most, if not all, of these so-called health beliefs are not backed by science—showing that they are good for your health.

So, what we decided to do today, was take the top 5 health myths or fitness fallacies and debunk them.

Some of our beliefs may still hold true today, but some others may not.  It’s time to debunk some of the most common ones out there starting with:

1. Eating FAT will make you FAT

For years, thanks to the government, people were afraid to eat fatty foods—such as coconut, red meat, or avocados.

What was the reason behind this?  People were led to believe that eating fat will not only cause you to gain weight, but could also lead to heart disease or a heart attack.

Flash forward some 20 years, and you now know that eating fat is actually pretty darn good for you.

The right mix of dietary fats may do wonders, not only for your body, but for your metabolism as well.

For example, studies show that monounsaturated fat may help you to feel full and satisfied after a meal, therefore cutting down on cravings that could easily derail your fat loss.

Plus, dietary fats (omega-3 fatty acids) may also lower inflammation, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and may improve brain and eye health.

Fat also slows the rate of digestion, therefore preventing blood sugar spikes that could cause cravings or an increase in appetite.

2. Too much Protein is UNHEALTHY

You may have heard of the female bodybuilder who passed away a few weeks ago.  It was told she died from having too much protein.

Although her death was tragic, it wasn’t due to the supplements she was taking, but to the disease (and the lack of education about her disease) that prevented her from digesting protein correctly.

This poor girl’s death may have led a lot of people to abandon the idea of eating a diet rich in protein.

But what does the science say?  Research shows that people should be consuming anywhere between 0.8g/kg/BW to 1.5g/kg/BW.  

Why?  Protein is needed in order to build lean muscle mass and speed up your metabolism.  The more lean mass you have on your body, the faster your metabolism will be…

..even at rest!  Plus, higher protein diets, just like fat, boost the feeling of satisfaction after a meal.  This could cut down on your overall calorie intake, which again, could lead to fat loss and an overall body transformation (less belly fat and more lean muscle mass).

3. Longer Workouts are ideal

Do you spend 2+ hours at the gym?  Do you leave the gym, sore and tired, after another long workout?

If so, then you may be doing some damage to your body!  When I first started at the gym, it was pretty much gospel to spend at least an hour working out, if not more.

But today, the research shows a longer workout may not be needed in order to reap the full benefits.

Studies show that HIIT training, a high-intensity, short duration workout, may actually give you a better workout and faster results.  HIIT training spares your lean muscle mass (in most instances) and focuses solely on other energy stores, namely blood sugar and fat.

But here’s where it sets itself apart:

Due to the higher intensity, HIIT training increases the calorie expenditure AFTER a workout for up to 24 to 48 hours.

This helps to expend more calories, which could translate into increased fat loss.

4. Butter and Bacon are Bad

About 20 years ago, you were told that eating bacon and butter were bad for your health and would kill you if you continued eating it.

That’s when the government starting to push the agenda of using trans-fats or hydrogenated food products such as margarine and polyunsaturated vegetable oils.

What happened then?  Well, people started to have even more health problems and heart disease continued to climb.

Today we know a little bit better.  Butter and bacon, in moderation, may not actually be bad for you—but could add benefits to your health.

Studies show that full-fat butter could actually lower your BMI, lower your waist circumference, and could improve your heart health.

The same results could be applied to bacon as well!  CLICK HERE to learn more about why BACON is actually good for you!

5. Crunches are the KEY to Flat Abs

For years, I would do crunches every single day for flatter abs and the ripped six pack look.

But come to find out…

…crunches are not the best exercise for developing flat abs.  The truth is, abs start in the kitchen!  Having the right diet plan in place goes a long way to stripping away fat and achieving those flat abs.

Plus, instead of doing crunches all the time, doing core exercises such as the plank, chops, Russian twists, and others could go a long way to developing strong abs and a rock-solid core!

Crunches can still be a component of your workout, but should not be the only exercise you do if you want to flatten your abs or get the ideal six-pack you’re looking for.
