Sports drinks
Australians love cooling off with a sports drink, consuming 21 million litres every year, and we are told it is good for us.
"Sports drinks are for athletes," according to Adam.
"The average person does not need them, they simply don't need the calories."
Arlene said the average sports drink has about nine teaspoons of sugar.
"The average person doing a workout certainly doesn't need all the sugar after the workout or during the workout," Arlene said.
Exercise frequency
We are often told to exercise three times a week. This is a myth if your goal is to lose weight, according to John.
"Exercising three times a week, sorry, not enough if you want to get results," John said.
Adam said to aim for around 30 minutes each day.
"Most days of the week, five, six days would be perfect," he said.
Nuts are healthy
We are told nuts are a healthy snack but they are not if you want to lose weight.
A handful of nuts is OK but stay away from nut bars.
"The average nut bar has twice as much fat as a Mars bar and more calories in them," John said.
Small meals more often
Celebrities like Jennifer Anniston swear five to six small meals a day is better than three large meals.
Adam said this is a myth.
"When the British Journal of Nutrition looked at this they found no difference between five or six meals to three meals a day but what it does do is stop us bingeing and craving food," Adam said.

Some people who's claiming to be health buff at some point have succumb to myths. Gullible over weight people are taken advantaged of as they are desperate to loose weight. And for some, they just turn to drastic steps like taking pills. I advise to do their research. There are heaps of materials available online for product reviews such as hydroxycut side effects. Doing your research will certainly pay-off.
