Built with the bricks of misinformation and pseudoscience, the fitness industry is a 100 billion dollar pyramid.

Thanks to this, I messed up years of my early fitness journey. Only since I awakened (2 or 3 years ago) have I been making insane progress.

Unfortunately, most remain swathed in this cloak of lies until they get disillusioned and quit fitness — or worse, turn into haters and discourage others.

To help you avoid such a fate, I’ll share 5 truths that the fitness industry spends millions of dollars to keep hidden from you.

Slimming Belts and The Rest of The B.S. “Belly Fat” Cohort

If I ate a calorie for every time I was asked, “How to lose belly fat”, I’d be morbidly obese by now.

So universal is this need that the fitness industry has neatly capitalized on it. Behold the cohort of “How to lose belly fat” products.

Slimming belts, fat-burner pills, non-surgical “safe” procedures, “secret” diet plans, “detox” juices — it’s quite a vast family and their grand-daddy is “Crunches and side-bends”.
