After all knowledge is power

1. You can out train an unhealthy diet
This is not possible, you can jog for hours, do hill sprints, lift weights etc
At the end of the day you WILL gain weight if you consume more calories than you are burning
Try tracking food intake, as many of us over eat unknowingly

2. Egg whites are good, yolks are bad
You can eat the whole egg!
Yes I know crazy right?
Contrary to belief the yolks are full of iron, B-vitamins, folate and vitamins that support brain and eye health!
So don& #39;t be afraid and eat that whole egg

3. You can target or spot reduce body fat
This is not possible, everyone loses body fat from all different areas on the body
We do not get to chose where the fat comes off
This results from a calorie deficit, it takes patience and consistency

4. Women will bulk up like men if using weights
Men and women have different hormones
Ex. When men lift weights, we have higher testosterone levels than women
Causing quicker/more muscle gain
Ladies don& #39;t avoid resistance training due to this myth you won& #39;t get all bulky

5. Long cardio sessions are required to get in great cardiovascular shape
high intensity interval training only requires 10-20 minutes and includes benefits like:
-High calorie burn
-Reduce HR and blood pressure
-After burn effect(burn cals post workout)
-Can build muscle

6. Supplements are required to get in shape
Supplements are expensive and typically have fillers and unnecessary ingredients
My typical opinion on this is that if you are hitting your macro-nutrient intake daily, don& #39;t bother
Save your money

This is insane
Too much simple carbohydrate consumption and too many calories will make you fat
Carbs fuel our brains and workouts
Consume complex carbohydrates like:
-Rice
-Whole grain pastas, or breads
-potatoes
