Fat will only burn by intermitting fasting

Dairy will make you fat

The other factor is that 65 percent of human population cannot properly digest lactose which is found in milk which causes body to bloat and people think they have increased fat which is not the same thing.

Myth no.10

Low carbs and keto diet are superior for weight loss

Keto and low carbs diets are not superior for fat loss. There are numerous reviews and long studies that have showed that the diets low in fat and the diets low in carbs works equally if the person is actually able to stick to their diet plan. The fat to carbs ratio doesn’t affect weight or fat loss if the total calories are equal. For those who love carbs and still follow low carbs diet, chances are you’ll not going to get results because you won’t be following it for a long time.
