13. Taking diet pills
One persistent and widespread myth is that “appetite-crushing” diet pills actually work, says wellness coach and nutrition educator KJ Landis, CPT, CFI. “Whether prescription or herbal, we must remember that the mind is part of the equation,” she says.
She also added that no magic pill or potion will minimize appetite unless we are ready emotionally and mentally to shift our lifestyle permanently. The promises of minimized appetite and subsequent weight loss and fat burning with a potion or pill are rubbish.
