The Top 5 Nutrition Myths Stopping You Losing Weight

The Story Of How I Lost 6kg In 4 Weeks By Busting 5 Of The Most Common Nutrition Myths

Right now, you don't know which way to turn. You don't know who to believe. Who to trust. Or what to do when it comes to losing weight.

You've cut carbs because the Keto guy made you panic about insulin.

And now you've banned animal products. All because social media scaremongering convinced you meat and dairy cause cancer.

And let's not get started on clean eating. Scrubbing your broccoli with bleach didn't turn out to be the best idea.
