You’ve probably heard it all:

“Calories in, calories out.”

“Just eat less and move more.”
“Track everything.”
“Discipline over everything.”

But here’s the truth—most popular weight loss advice is exactly what’s keeping you stuck.

In this episode of Drop It, I break down 18 of the most common weight loss myths and outdated strategies that sound smart… but actually sabotage long-term success.

We cover:

✅ Why “eat less, move more” is oversimplified and unhelpful
