Have you ever seen things on social media like, "Lose 10 kg this week!" or, "Eat less and move more!"? Which makes it sound like it should be easy, right? However, the truth is it's way more complex than that. SkillBloomer has created a webinar called, "Decoding Obesity Myths and Science" by Anuj Verma to help you understand the truth about why so many people struggle with their weight, and provides real, derived science- not judgement or beliefs- to help you comprehend how your body actually physically operates. In 60 mins, you'll have the opportunity to learn how you can both understand the truth about the complexity of the body's weight control mechanisms and are powered by evidence-based science against what has previously been shown to be false. This research provides those that may be considering using fad diets a way in which to control their body weight using a more scientific approach.

TOP MYTHS DEBUNKED IN THIS WEBINAR (WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS):

 * Myth 1: It is all willpower—FALSE. Your body has a hormonal response to food that will cause your body to signal for food (leptin) due to energy deficit and (ghrelin) to signal to you that you are full, causing you to stop eating.

* Myth 3: People who are obese are lazy. Studies indicate that there is little difference in physical activity between people who are obese and those who aren’t, regardless of their gene profile or their environment.
