Common myths about weight loss that can be misleading include the beliefs that "carbs are bad," "skipping meals aids in weight loss," and that all weight loss occurs rapidly. However, healthy weight loss is complex and individualized; drastically reducing carbohydrate intake can lead to nutrient deficiencies. Skipping meals often results in overeating later, and sustainable weight loss typically occurs at a gradual pace. Moreover, the idea that there's a one-size-fits-all solution distracts from understanding the role of balanced nutrition and regular physical activity.
