Many common weight loss myths contribute to confusion about effective strategies. A prevalent misconception is that all carbohydrates are fattening; in reality, weight gain occurs when calorie intake exceeds expenditure, regardless of the macronutrient source[1][3]. Cutting out carbohydrates means potentially missing essential nutrients.
Another myth is that detox diets are necessary for cleansing the body. However, the body already has effective systems for detoxification, and such diets may lead to nutritional deficiencies[1][3].
