2. Eating Fats makes you Fat
Once again, just an energy source.
Fats are more calorie-dense than carbs or protein (7kcal/g vs 4kcal/g) but if you maintain a calorie deficit, you can eat fats and lose weight.
In fact you need dietary fat for optimal hormone levels.

3. Fat Loss Workouts
Gym workouts don't burn fat. Lifting weights doesn't burn many calories - we lift to gain muscle.
Muscle is built in the Gym. Fat is lost in the Kitchen.

4. You have to do Cardio for Fat Loss
Cardio is just a tool in your kit. It keeps your heart healthy and controls blood lipids.
You can use cardio to boost your calorie deficit. But It can't make up for a bad diet.

5. Keto Diet Burns Fat
No special diet burns fat on its own. All diets work by creating a caloric deficit.
If Keto fits your lifestyle and nutrition needs, then go for it. But you can get the same results with a properly-designed flexible diet as well.

6. Intermittent Fasting Burns Fat
It doesn't. It's just a way of managing your food intake and creating a caloric deficit.
IF can be a great way to control how much you eat. But you can get the same results from 2,3 or 4 meals a day if planned right.

These don't make your body any lighter, only your wallet.
