Is High Intensity Exercise Really Useless For Fast Fat Loss

Last week I was reviewing yet another diet program that promised fast fat loss results. The diet itself was not so bad and I think it could help many people to lose weight. I was, however shocked at the amount of misinformation that the e-book contained. Some statements were over-simplifications that were misleading, but others were just incorrect.
Every diet out there needs a marketing edge to help sell the product. Sometimes it’s a gimmick or a slogan. But other times it’s a hard edged and highly focused viewpoint that ignores much of what works in a bid to create something ‘new’. I think that any good diet author should recognize their responsibility to provide good advice and to word it so that people don’t get the wrong end of the stick.
Albert Einstein is acclaimed to have said “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler”. I think that he had a point there. When you over-simplify dieting and the weight loss process, you can inadvertently make statements that are false.
If the reader remembers only a little of your e-book or seminar, you can bet that it will be those half-truths or out-of-context quotes that will stick in their mind. The human mind attaches to such things much more readily than to long winded facts.
So, I’ll go over a few of those misleading points here, and I’ll do my best to not give away the program’s identity.
1. High intensity exercise is a waste of time for fat loss. On the contrary, high intensity exercise is one of the best exercise methods for people trying to lose weight. Many people who attempt high intensity workouts only reach medium intensity levels. This so called fat-burning-zone, that was once so popular, is the worst type of exercise for keeping the fat off. So I will stress here that if you are going to do high intensity workouts, then make sure the intensity IS high enough. At the same time, I advise wearing a heart monitor during such workouts, and definitely seeking medical advice beforehand.
2. Walking is the best form of exercise to lose fat. Walking is good exercise, but I don’t think it qualifies as the best exercise. For some people walking is there only exercise option. I suggest that those people walk often to maximize the benefits. For more physically in-shape people, then I believe that high intensity workouts will achieve more fat loss and increased fitness. Walking is outside of the fat-burning-zone, so it is a good form of exercise, but I couldn’t say that is the best form.
3. Honey is not healthier than sugar. Maybe honey and sugar are the same when talking about weight loss. I haven’t gone into detail about the calorific values of either one. But when it comes to health, I can’t see how someone can conclude that heavily processed white sugar is the same as natural honey. Honey has so many vitamins whereas sugar is really just empty calories. Also processed foods are always a risk due to the unknown chemicals that they may have been exposed to.
I could continue and list many more inaccuracies, but I think the main point here is that even good diets programs can be filled with misinformation. As I already said, the actual diet was sound; it was only the explanation and background information that was suspect.
The best way to navigate through this sea of mixed information is to sit down and finally get a good grip on the core principles of fat loss and nutrition. Once you have that mastered you will find it much easier to cut through the lies and half-truths that are so prevalent. Also mastering the core principles will multiply your own dieting success many times over.
