Of all the weight loss tips and strategies lurking in the net today, people might start to get a little bit confused of which of those really works and which are not. In this article, we have compiled the lists of common weight loss myths to help solve this dilemma.

- Have you heard of Myth #1, The Fad Diets: Fad diets are not the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Fad Diets often promise quick weight loss but it does not guarantee success in the long run. This may also affect our bodies resistant to illness since this diet restricts us to eat certain types of food that will help us achieve the right nutrients.

- High-protein and low carbohydrate diet- the most popular type of this diet is the Atkins diet, though there has not been any report of possible damage in the body by using this in the long term, experts are alarmed by how much fat and cholesterol the body may be taking that might lead to heart diseases. This type of diet will also make the person feel tired and weak.

- Limiting the Starch that causes fattening- the truth is, there are some food that are high in starch but low in fat and calories, some of these foods are rice, bread, pasta and cereal. They will become fattening if you collaborate them with foods loaded with fats and calories.

- Certain foods can burn fat- Actually there are no foods that can cause fat from burning. The science behind this might be in the content of certain food groups that speeds up our metabolism like caffeine or capsaicin in pepper.

- I can still lose weight while eating whatever I want- do you actually believe this? I mean, if it is true then why study all the science to prevent unwanted fat? The equation is simple, to lose weight, you should use more calories than what you are taking. Portion control is always the key and off course, physical activity will help a lot.
