Weight Loss Myths Debunked

What you've always heard about weight loss may not be accurate information.

Much of what you’ve been told about weight loss is wrong, Health on Today reports.  The August issue of The New England Journal of Medicine has debunked some myths surrounding weight loss — you don't need to take a slow and steady approach to weight loss, you can go ahead and set a lofty weight loss goal and, unfortunately, sex doesn't burn as many calories as you might think.  Click here to read the full story.  Interested in fitness classes? Check out the offerings listed in the Barrow Patch events calendar, which include Zumba, Yoga and more.  Do you have weight loss tips to share?
