BUSTING THE MYTHS
3 of the BIGGEST fat loss myths the so called “gurus” have been telling you. Boy oh boy…
Now I ain’t the first PT out here busting the HORROR fitness myths which still circulate round the inter-web. There have been plenty far more accomplished people who have done the good work before me.

Starvation mode is the idea that some people drop their calories so low that their body will preserve body fat and that is the reason that they are not losing any weight. What a load of nonsense. Just watch Bear Grylls the Island.
Calorie deficit isn't a diet.
And tell the contestants NOT to worry about dying because “YOUR BODY WILL HOLD ONTO FAT”.
It's the scientific principle of energy balance.
Get in the bin mate.
Calories in (food/drink) VS calories out (exercise and movement).
Never has been a thing >>> never will be a thing.
If you are in a deficit you will lose weight.
There could be a couple of reasons for the idea of starvation mode:
Very simply you can ONLY lose weight in a calorie deficit.
If you are in a surplus you will gain weight. If you are at maintenance you will not lose or put on weight.
