The health and fitness world is one with LOTS of noise. The problems in this industry range far and wide, from old science and just BAD information, to assaulting you with you with “shoulds” every minute of every day, to preying on your insecurities and so much more.

As such, there’s A LOT of things I could include on this list, but today we’re just focusing on these 4 big ones, as these misconceptions can leave us feeling broken, hungry, frustrated or, at worst, sick.

Even as most of us become more knowledgable, more confident, and more aware of the fitness and nutrition industry nonsense machine, a few messages still seem to be getting through that I wish women would stop believing.

And of course, all of these could be their own episode (or book!), so I’m touching on the most important points briefly.
