Baba Health series Part 1 : Misconceptions of weight loss

This is my first post for the health series where I wish to share some of my own training experiences and knowledge based on research regarding misconceptions of weight loss.  Most people think that spending two hours at the gym or eating less will make them lose weight.Both are delusions.IMO gym is nothing but a fad to make money.You pay the fees but the instructor will not guide you beyond the first week.After a month or so,it becomes just a place to hang out with friends.Do not waste money on it.Instead a 30-40 min proper intense workout even at home can give better result.
