**Are you eating clean, cutting calories, busting your butt in the gym, and still watching the scale refuse to budge?** You’re not crazy, and you’re definitely not alone. When traditional advice tells…
I guess let's start with the common misconceptions of like what it takes to lose weight, right? So it's a caloric consumption versus expenditure, but it has to be appropriate calories also.
Yeah, I would say that that's probably like the most common or I don't want to say it's not really a misconception per se because it's not it's not inaccurate, but it's as simple as calories in and calories out.
Yeah.
Right.
Yes.
But you can mess that up.
You can absolutely mess that up.
One hundred percent.
Right.
So if
you eat 500 calories of a chicken pot pie in a day and then consider that your meal for the whole day.
Yeah.
You lose weight for a little bit.
That would be the most common thing that we probably see.
And I would say that's more common in our female patient base.
It's because we were trained that way, right? The 90s was like, just don't eat.
Have a glass of wine.
Smoke a cigarette.
Have a good day.
You'll be seven pounds.
Patients who started, but yeah, patients who started on a weight loss journey and they started to lose really initially and then they hit a stall point.
And with that, a lot of patients we see under eating really aggressively.
The number of patients that come in and they're like, well, I'm only eating 800, a thousand calories a day for the last three months and I won't lose anything.
So that would be the biggest, that's probably the first big misconception.
And it's generally not people dramatically overeating.
