“The older the weight gain, the harder it is to lose it!”
I was talking to a friend yesterday who had put on a lot of weight during her pregnancy. Her child is now 3 and has finally decided to work on herself. So she mentions to me that it will be real hard for her to shed the weight now that it’s a 3 year old thing! I told her it will be hard because she isn’t ready to quit eating parathas for breakfast.
Please share some other common misconceptions and myths.

"eating parathas can make you fat" :D
I don't think it's true...in fact, parathas made with medium brown flour or whole flour and olive oil can be healthy and work great as a breakfast item.
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
Hahha! I was hoping someone would bring the up as well :D
Well true if you use whole wheat and oil spray. But how many people actually do that?

Skipping your lunch will help you lose weight.
I've had kidney stones. Drinking 2-3 Liters of water is what my urologist recommends. But yes, no guarantees.
I don't believe in this either. I think getting good quality sleep is more important even if it is for 4-5 hours.
Skipping any meal is wrong.
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
I was talking to someone just yesterday who wanted weight loss advice, and when I told her to include grilled chicken and fish in her diet, she said "lekin fish tou garam hoti hai".
I really felt for her, she is having medical issues that are making her gain weight and on top of that is so misinformed about the foods that might actually help her lose weight.
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
are 'no pani after eating tarbooz' and 'no milk after eating fish' myths, or there is some fact to them
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
There is a myth which states eating fish and milk together gives you vitiligo which is a complete myth.
and melon is mostly pani soo dont know why you cant have them together?
Also doctors recommend maintaining good hydration to avoid kidney stones, I dont think its a 'myth' but its not a cure per say
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
Early to bed does keep a person healthy 'cuz your liver starts working properly when the body is resting & dont tell me that is a myth too 
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
Try to go early to bed when Isha is at 11:20 PM
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
That’s lateee 
But that doesn’t mean its a myth.I have noticed that I’m a lot more attentive & happy when I have had a good nights sleep.(which is once in a couple of months)
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
Our isha goes up to 11:20 during late june/early july time.

I hear ya. It's a pity that people don't want to get out of that mentality.

Re: Health and Fitness Myths
SO I got a call from another friend who is also trying to lose weight [the story of every woman’s life], and so I suggest some things that I have personally had good results with such as establishing a workout routine and eating well balanced meals… so she says no she’s slightly anemic so her husband has asked her to quit trying to lose weight.
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
going to bed immediately after dinner means you'll gain more weight.
Re: Health and Fitness Myths
