Understanding Weight Loss Myths

Many common weight loss myths contribute to people's struggles with obesity. A common misconception is that weight loss is simply a matter of willpower, when in reality, biology plays a powerful role. For example, diets often provoke biological responses that push the body to regain lost weight, leading to cycles of yo-yo dieting. Understanding these physiological processes helps individuals recognize that their challenges are not personal failures but rather a natural response of the body.
