There's no shortage of weight loss advice out there, but much of it is based on outdated beliefs or marketing rather than science. Let's debunk some common myths that might be holding back your THINNR weight loss progress.

Myth #1: Carbs Are the Enemy

Reality: Carbohydrates are your body's preferred energy source. The key is choosing quality carbs—vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes—over refined and processed options. Extreme carb restriction isn't necessary or sustainable for most people.

Myth #2: You Need to Exercise for Hours to Lose Weight

Reality: Diet plays a much larger role in weight loss than exercise. You can't out-exercise a poor diet. That said, exercise is important for health, muscle preservation, and maintenance. Even 20-30 minutes most days makes a difference.

Myth #3: Fat Makes You Fat

Reality: Dietary fat doesn't automatically become body fat. Healthy fats from nuts, avocados, olive oil, and fish are important for hormone function, nutrient absorption, and satiety.

Myth #4: Skipping Meals Helps You Lose Weight

Reality: For most people, skipping meals leads to overeating later. Consistent, balanced meals help stabilize energy and reduce cravings. Some people do well with intermittent fasting, but it's not magic—calories still matter.

Myth #5: Supplements Can Replace a Good Diet

Reality: No supplement replaces the benefits of a nutritious diet. The THINNR Protocol is designed to work alongside our nutrition plan, not replace it.
