Question 16 • (AG Q2) Phys Ed 1: 26-27 (TDye) - S1

Which of the following statements is NOT a weight loss myth?

Answer
A
To lose weight, you must consume fewer calories than your present rate.
B
Effective and lasting weight loss means that weight gained over time should be lost over time.
C
Fad diets are a good way to quickly and permanently reduce your weight.
D
To keep weight off, you need to alter your habits only until the weight is lost.

Explanation

Effective, lasting weight loss generally requires patience: weight gained gradually over time is best lost gradually over time. This makes statement B a sound principle, not a myth. Fad diets rarely lead to permanent weight loss, and maintaining weight loss usually requires ongoing habit changes, so C and D are myths.
