Well, at some point I think we've all come to believe in someone who believes in weird weight loss myths. There are many myths about weight loss and many books can be written on dos and don'ts to lose weight. 

Unfortunately, some of these myths and suggestions are completely wrong or misinformed. If you want to learn how to lose weight fast, you should learn about these ten myths on weight loss that I am about to discuss, so that you do not sabotage your weight loss journey and achieve the goals you desire.

Many believe that eating after sunset makes you gain weight. It does not matter what time of day the food is eaten. The most important factor to consider is do you consume more calories than you use/burn during the day and night? It is an energy balance.

You are allowed to indulge yourself from time to time, and this will help prevent your cravings from escalating into all sorts of disorders. Remember the old adage, "everything in moderation." 

Focus not only on improving your diet but also on increasing your activity and exercise levels. When it comes to losing weight, diet changes alone are not the answer. Take a look at some bodybuilding exercises you can do at home if you can't access or tolerate gym membership.

Eating between meals can be beneficial (as long as it is healthy) as it can help prevent you from overeating later on. It can also help because it can increase the thermic effect of food (energy used to digest food), causing more energy to be burned during the day.

If your energy intake is too low, your body will be forced into a state of 'starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down and make the most of all the foods you find. So, as you tire of refusing to eat (yes, it will) and return to a more normal diet, the more likely you are to pack your pounds back and maybe even more. 

Fat is essential in the diet, no matter what. Fat plays an important role in the body and is important for hormone production and other functions. Yes, it is true that some fats are bad for you (limit your amount of saturated and trans fats) but polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats have a much worse reputation than they deserve. Some fats are really good for you, for example, Omega 3 fatty acids.

Skipping meals will lead to more food later on. If you have to skip meals, try to avoid skipping breakfast, as it is an important meal to kickstart your metabolism and start your day right. Find a grain that is rich in fiber and not high in sugar. If you use whole cream milk etc., switch to skim milk and limit the addition of additional sugar.

Water is not a magic tool to increase your weight loss, but it can still be useful, as drinking more water can prevent you from consuming more sugary drinks such as Coca-Cola, Red Bulls, Fruit juice, etc.
