What Dr. Mimi Secor can say in an interview on
some common exercise and weight loss myths:

There are a lot of common myths out there that we all tend to hold as true. This interview will explore these and go deep into offering real, tangible ways to exercise and eat right to achieve your weight loss goals.

  1. MYTH: You can easily lose weight exercising.” Most people think they can exercise to lose weight. Unfortunately, it is difficult to burn off that many calories, so diet is also usually a necessary component.
  2. MYTH: “You CAN out-exercise an unhealthy diet.” Many people think they can do hours of cardio exercise and effectively lose weight. Contrary to popular myth, you can NOT out-exercise an unhealthy diet.
  3. MYTH: “Exercise is essential for weight loss.”  Actually, this is not true. Nutrition is the greatest contributor to weight loss. Of course, it is healthy to add exercise to nutrition for weight loss, but not essential—especially initially.
  4. MYTH: “Increasing exercise will increase weight loss.” This is not necessarily true. Too much exercise can actually backfire by causing increased stress levels which can raise cortisol, and in turn, stall out weight loss.
  5. MYTH: “Steady-state cardio is effective for weight loss.” This is what most people think, but it is actually false. The best approach for burning maximum calories is HITT exercise. This stands for high-intensity interval training. This involves exercising to your maximum capacity for 20-30 minutes.
  6. MYTH: “Eating less and moving more is generally effective for weight loss.” Even most health care professionals believe this myth. The problem with this concept is that it doesn’t factor in the unique metabolic needs or characteristics of each individual. In reality, effective weight loss usually requires analyzing and adjusting macros (protein, fats, and carbohydrates).

Tried Everything and Can’t Lose Weight?

Have you, like so many women, tried every diet trend out there? Do you feel like you have tried everything and still can’t lose weight? Are you getting to an age where you’re beginning to wonder if you shouldn’t just give up?

I want you to know NOW that the so-called “inevitable decline” of aging is NOT inevitable. You CAN fight it, and you can feel better about yourself today than you did yesterday.

How to achieve long-lasting change at any age:

    • Mindset – Are you someone who thinks, “I’ve tried everything and still can’t lose weight”? What other excuses are keeping you from your goals?
    • Sleep – Don’t be surprised! When you are sleep-deprived, your body stores fat. Let’s find out if you’re getting enough shut-eye!
    • Fitness – Are you exercising TOO much? It sounds crazy, but it happens!
