Surprisingly, the most common weight loss tips given by mainstream dietitians and medical professionals are the worst diet advice! Calorie counting and portion control will leave you feeling hungry and constantly craving carbs. The body adapts to a low-calorie diet, leading to a slower metabolism. A low-calorie, high-carbohydrate diet raises insulin levels.

I’m sure you’ve heard these other bad weight loss tips:

• Eat 6 small meals per day

• Count calories

• Increase fiber

• Drink more water to help you feel full

• Chew gum

• Take Ozempic

These tips will not boost fat loss!

Your body can use fat or glucose for fuel. Although stored fat is potential energy, you must lower your insulin to utilize it.

Insulin resistance is at the root of many chronic illnesses and can negatively affect the liver, nervous system, immune system, and more. Low-calorie diets that don’t lower insulin are not sustainable. You won’t be able to achieve your goals if you're hungry, craving carbs, dealing with brain fog, high blood pressure, or other related issues.

If you really want to lose weight, stop calorie counting! Try these 13 weight loss tips instead:
