Indian Singer Lucky Ali Expresses Desire To Visit Pakistan

Ali's music has reached out to many fans on both sides of the border, and this decision to visit Pakistan underlines the history and heritage bonds.

Lucky Ali, the acclaimed Indian singer and son of Bollywood comedy legend Mehmood, has stirred up conversation with his heartfelt desire to visit Pakistan.

In a recent tweet shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Ali revealed his intention to reconnect with his roots by visiting his relatives and his mother’s ancestral village, Bhera, located in the Sargodha district of Pakistan.

Lucky Ali has a very personal reason to desire to travel to Pakistan. In his tweet, he said, “Hoping to get a visit visa to Pakistan to visit my relatives and see my mother’s ancestral village, Bhera.” This statement reflects his urge to connect with the heritage left behind by his mother, Madhu Kumari, who was born in Bhera before migrating to India.

Indian actress Meena Kumari was her sister, and her birth name was Mahliqa; she was the daughter of Ali Bakhsh and Iqbal Begum. Lucky Ali’s ties to his mother’s roots in Bhera do make a return visit quite poignant.

His father made Bollywood comedy which became a mainstream phenomenon due to an important actor in films. Both Indian and Pakistani history are deep-seated in his family legacy.

Warm reception in Pakistan

This announcement from Lucky Ali received a sense of excitement and warmth across Pakistan, and especially from the people in Bhera. Most Pakistanis, not to mention his fans and well-wishers from his mother’s native village, invited him to stay in their homes while he was there.

It is a reflection of how deeply people, on both sides of the border, are connected through shared history and culture. Even on the invitations sent to him via social media by Pakistanis, the light was shed upon the goodwill and hospitality many wanted to extend towards Ali during his visit. Even the desire to host such a beloved singer, connected with Indian and Pakistani heritage, shows mutual feelings of pride involved.

Mixed Reactions from India

However, not all readers were pleased with his decision to visit Pakistan. While the Pakistanis welcomed him warmly, Indians showed hostility towards Ali’s desire to visit their country. Many citizens responded that if he felt so enticed to visit, he should stay there permanently and not come back to the country. This reaction from a section of Indian society led to a discussion on social media when people raised questions about his loyalties towards India for this desire to visit Pakistan.

A Bridge of Art and Culture

This mixed reaction to his wish to visit Pakistan has brought to the fore the cultural as well as family bonds crossing the borders. As an artist, Ali’s music has reached out to many fans on both sides of the border, and this decision to visit Pakistan underlines the history and heritage bonds that India and Pakistan share.

An emotional intent and desire to explore his roots reflect the legacy of his family. Arising at a time when there are political as well as social tensions between both countries, how better than this declaration by Lucky Ali that arts, culture, and personal histories can be a bridge between divided lands?

The set of reactions from a warm welcome by Pakistanis, while some Indians may look somewhat disappointed—will tell volumes about the strength of common history and the bonds between people across a national border.

Top Spots For Basque Cheesecake Lovers In Pakistan

Basque Cheesecakes
Image Source: Cookidoo

Basque cheesecake is a crustless, golden-baked beauty. The cake is a slightly different version of the regular New York-style cheesecake. It features a golden-brown caramelized exterior and is crustless. It attains this exterior by being baked at a much higher heat compared to the regular cheesecake. If you’re fond of this cake, here are some top spots for you to visit in Pakistan:

1. Junoon’s Basque Cheesecake in Lahore

The restaurant claims that here is where you’ll find the best cheesecake in the world. More than that! They even share a free recipe for you to try at home. Junoon is best known for its desi cuisine, but the one dish that stands out on the menu the most is a slice of their mouth-watering cheesecake.

2. Haute Dolci

A small and very pink café in Fairways Raya, Lahore. Haute Dolci offers a slice of their freshly baked cheesecake for just 2000/-. The café offers a wide variety of delicious treats and desserts but if you ever see a big crowd in there, it is definitely for their cake!

3. Fuòco’s Basque Cheesecake

If Haute Dolci is feeling a little out of a budget, Fuòco offers a much cheaper price, and definitely a more hearty quantity. Fuòco is widely popular for its contemporary Italian Cuisine, though their panna cotta is the star of the show, their cheesecake is just as delicious.

4. Maapis

This cheesecake is a “burnt, basque” too: it’s caramelized at the top. The texture is softer and not as dense as the NY cheesecake either. Additionally, the caramel tones are delicious. This is a cheesecake you have to experience once.

5. Test Kitchen Karachi

Now Test Kitchen isn’t exactly the best spot for a cheesecake, but that isn’t because it’s inherently bad. No. Perhaps Test has the perfect slice for you. Their basque cheesecake isn’t as caramelized it is what they are truly supposed to taste like. Some love it, some just want sugar.

These are some of the top spots for a soft, caramelized basque cheesecake in Pakistan.

Why Is PCB Hesitant To Appoint Mohammad Rizwan As Captain?

basit-ali-backs-mohammad-rizwan-as-the-future-pakistan-captain
Image Source: theisland.ik

Mohammad Rizwan has been knocking on the door of Pakistan’s captaincy for quite a while now. Sure, one can raise questions over his T20 batting approach, but when it comes to leading the team? There’s very little doubt in Rizwan’s abilities.

Last November, when Babar Azam stepped down as captain, many assumed that Rizwan would be appointed as an all-format skipper. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) surprised everyone.

Instead of Rizwan, they handed the T20I captaincy to Shaheen Afridi and gave the Test captaincy to Shan Masood. And for the ODI side? The PCB hit the pause button—deciding to leave the position vacant until November 2024, when ODIs would be on the horizon again.

shan-masood-to-drop-babar-rizwan-shaheen

Fast forward a bit, and just before the T20 World Cup, they circled back to Babar for white-ball captaincy. And we all know how disastrous that decision was.

Now, with Pakistan about to head to Australia for three ODIs and three T20Is, and Babar officially stepping away from captaincy, it feels like the perfect moment for Rizwan to finally take over. But there’s no guarantee that it’s happening. Not yet, anyway.

Read More: Mohammad Rizwan As Pakistan Captain: Is He The Right Choice?

Why All the Confusion?

Mohammad Rizwan is the obvious choice, no doubt. He’s consistent, experienced, and highly respected in the dressing room. Players listen when he speaks, and that’s half the battle when you’re leading a side. But despite all this, the PCB is still keeping their options open. Seriously.

There’s been chatter about Mohammad Haris, a relatively young gun, for the T20I captaincy. Saud Shakeel and Fakhar Zaman are reportedly being considered for both T20I and ODI captaincy. And just to spice things up, names like Shadab Khan, Salman Ali Agha, and Saim Ayub have been thrown into the hat.

saim-ayub-shares-the-story-behind-no-look-shot

Now, I’m scratching my head here. Why is there such a long list of candidates when Rizwan, a proven leader, is right there? And no offence, but a couple of these names are still trying to find their footing in the national team.

We can talk about how none of the above-mentioned players deserve to be captain right now, but that discussion is for another day. Let’s talk about Rizwan.

Read More: What’s Next For Champions One-Day Cup Mentors?

The Workload Argument

One theory being tossed around is that the PCB wants to manage Rizwan’s workload. They’re apparently toying with the idea of having separate captains for ODIs and T20Is or naming a strong vice-captain to share the burden.

On paper, it sounds reasonable. With Pakistan’s jam-packed schedule, maybe Rizwan could use some help. From November Pakistan is scheduled to play 18 ODIs and T20Is lined up against Australia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

if-you-play-for-average-mohammad-rizwan

They will then play a two-Test series in South Africa, then a tri-series at home and the ICC Champions Trophy. And let’s not forget, there’s a New Zealand series right before the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 10. It’s a lot of cricket.

Head coach Gary Kirsten and the selectors have raised concerns about Rizwan handling this heavy load, which is why they’re considering appointing a different captain or a young vice-captain, who can step in to give rest to Rizwan.

Read More: Younis Khan Names Two Players To Replace Babar Azam As Captain

Is There More to the Story?

While managing Rizwan’s workload sounds like a reasonable explanation, there’s a bit of a twist here. Mohammad Rizwan has been playing non-stop cricket since 2020, and other than a brief break during the Afghanistan series in early 2023, he’s always been on the field.

He is one of the fittest players in the Pakistan cricket team. Even when he’s dealing with cramps, the guy never misses a game. So why is the workload suddenly a concern now?

It makes you wonder—could there be something more at play here? Maybe something is going on behind the scenes. Whatever the reason, the uncertainty surrounding Rizwan’s future as captain is definitely raising some eyebrows.

ICC Takes Bold Steps To Save Women Cricketers From Social Media Hate

icc-to-combat-online-hate-womens-t20-world-cup-2024

The International Cricket Council (ICC) isn’t just focusing on the on-field action for the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024—they’re stepping up their online game too! In a much-needed move, the ICC has rolled out an innovative AI tool designed to protect women cricketers from the toxic side of social media: hate speech, harassment and misogyny.

Creating a Safer Space for Women Cricketers

Let’s be real—this couldn’t have come at a better time. Women athletes, especially cricketers, have been increasingly subjected to online abuse, and it’s not something we can just brush off anymore.

The ICC is taking the first step to fix this problem by teaming up with GoBubble to monitor comments not just on their platforms but also on 60 women cricketers’ social accounts.

Women’s T20 World Cup 2024

“The cutting-edge technology is designed to identify and hide from public view toxic content such as hate speech, harassment, and misogyny, helping to create a safer and more welcoming space for fans to engage with the World Cup,” the ICC said in a statement.

The goal is to give women cricketers the mental space to focus on their game, minus the noise from online trolls.

Players Appreciate The Initiative

Naturally, the players are all for it. South African wicketkeeper-batter Sinalo Jafta didn’t hold back when she talked about how crucial this kind of protection is, especially during a World Cup.

“For me, with social media protection I think it takes a lot of weight off players, especially at World Cup campaigns as that is the worst of it,” Jafta said.

icc-to-combat-online-hate-womens-t20-world-cup-2024

“There is nothing worse than opening up your phone after a loss — or after a victory — and regardless of what side you find yourself there is always some degrading comment about your personality,” she added.

This initiative feels even more important for younger players. Let’s face it—telling a 20-something athlete to just “stay off social media” is almost laughable.

It’s a part of their daily routine, whether we like it or not. So, this tool might just help them breathe easier, knowing they can enjoy their online presence without all that negativity creeping in.

Younis Khan Names Two Players To Replace Babar Azam As Captain

younis-khan-names-players-replace-babar-azam-captain-younis-khan-afghanistan-mentor-champions-trophy-2025

Former Pakistan captain Younis Khan has recently suggested two potential candidates to take over the white-ball captaincy after Babar Azam resigned from the position.

The legendary batter supported Babar Azam’s decision to relinquish captaincy. “Stepping away from the captaincy will be good for Babar,” Younis said during his recent visit to Australia’s Adelaide Oval.

Who Should Be The Next Captain?

Younis suggested that either wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan or left-handed opener Fakhar Zaman should take over the leadership role. The former captain disagreed with the notion that the best player in the team should be the captain.

“In our culture, we often make the best player the captain, but that can sometimes be a mistake. Rizwan or Fakhar should be the ones to take over,” he stated.

if-you-play-for-average-mohammad-rizwan

Rizwan has been calm under pressure and is a proven leader in domestic cricket. That consistency and level-headedness are qualities you want in a skipper.

Then there’s Fakhar Zaman. He may not have a ton of leadership experience, but his aggressive, fearless style of play could be just what the team needs to inject some energy.

What’s Next for Pakistan Cricket?

Younis Khan also pointed out a few issues within Pakistan’s team selection. With a mix of young talent and some questionable selections lately, he voiced concerns about how the team’s being put together.

I hope the Pakistan men’s cricket team performs well in Australia. The current squad includes young players, and there are certainly some issues with team selection that need to be addressed,” he said.

Younis Khan Praises Jason Gillespie

Younis Khan also heaped praise on Jason Gillespie, Pakistan’s red-ball head coach, saying that he has a ton of respect for him.

He praised Gillespie’s hard work in improving the team but also reiterated that better selection decisions could take Pakistan even further.

“I have played cricket with Jason Gillespie; he is working hard to improve the Pakistan team,” Younis said.

“But there needs to be better decision-making when it comes to selection.” So, while there’s love for the coaching efforts, Younis is clearly calling for more thoughtful planning overall.

Saudi National Orchestra Joins Royal Philharmonic In London

On September 28, London was the fourth city to host “The Marvels of Saudi Music.” The Saudi National Orchestra and Choir performed the marvel, along with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This event celebrated Saudi Arabia’s 94th National Day.

It was held under Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan Al Saud’s patronage, Minister of Culture, and head of the Music Commission. The concert honored Saudi’s heritage and cultural diversity, mixing traditional Saudi music with international performances at the famous Central Hall Westminster, and featured 100 skilled Arab musicians. Here are some highlights from the event.

Tribute to The Late Saudi Poet Badr Bin Abdul Mohsen

The concert opened with a heartfelt tribute to the late poet, Prince Badr. The orchestra performed “Ana Mil Hal Ardh” (I am From This Land.) A song that was originally penned by Prince Badr and sung by the Legendary Muhammad Abdo.

Samri Art and The Wounds Of Betrayal

Next, the National Orchestra and Choir also performed a mesmerizing version of Samri. Samri is a traditional Saudi folk art. The tune of the performance was the beautiful sound of “Esmahili yal Gharam” (The Wound of Betrayal). Muhammad Abdo’s greatest pieces ever. This unique combination of classic folk art with a modern twist was one of the standout moments of the concert, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Twist On Adele’s Rolling In The Deep

As a super bold and innovative move, the orchestra performed one of Hollywood’s most hit songs: Rolling in The Deep. The orchestra concluded the first half of the concert with a unique rendition of the song. The mashup captured the best elements of both Adele’s song and the Saudi classic “Adeet fi Marqab.”

The Concert Finale

As with most concert finales, this one too ended on a remarkable note. The show concluded with Rashed Al Majed’s “Ashginag” (We Loved You). A song released in honor of the 90th Saudi’s National Day on Sept. 23, 2020. The lyrics were fitting to the nature of the show as they too celebrate the diversity and beauty of the Saudi Culture.

Honor Magic V3 vs Galaxy Z Fold 6 – Which One’s Better?

Source: Digital Trends

The foldable smartphone war escalates with Honor’s latest lead, the Magic V3, up against Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6. Both high-end foldables feature advanced functions and stylish looks, but who wears the crown?

Design & Display

Honor’s Magic V3 catches the eye with its paper-thin profile—a mere 4.35mm when extended—that makes it the slimmest foldable around. With a featherweight frame of 226g, it feels more like a classic phone, touching important ergonomic points. Its rival, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, although a polished next step in Samsung’s foldable family, seems heftier when closed at 12.1mm.

In screen aspects, both devices deliver. The Honor Magic V3 has a larger interior display at 7.92 inches versus Samsung’s 7.6-inch type. While Samsung’s screen shines brighter, Honor claims victory by providing more viewing area and higher resolution, boasting 402 pixels per inch (PPI) over Samsung’s 374 PPI.

Performance & Software

Hiding inside, both foldables are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Still, Samsung’s version fine-tuned for its devices gets noticed. For routine use, both handsets do their job seamlessly with matching RAM sizes at 12GB. Yet Honor gives you a superior deal with its cheaper priced 512GB storage option than the one available from Samsung.

Software is where individual likes take center stage. Samsung’s OneUI on Android 14 creates an enjoyable foldable experience, while Honor’s MagicOS shows off similar Android capabilities. Both back up multitasking, pen inputs, and split screens, cementing their positions as efficient work gadgets.

Camera Performance

The Honor Magic V3 edges ahead camera-wise, favoring a periscope telephoto lens giving 3.5x optical zoom compared to Z Fold 6’s 3x zoom distance. Both phones take quality photos under good lighting, although Honor leans towards warmer colors. In dim lighting, Honor’s images hold onto more detail as Samsung prefers softer, brighter pictures.

Power & Recharge

Honor’s battery holds 5,150mAh, beating Samsung’s 4,400mAh by a fair margin. It charges at an accelerated 66W vs Samsung’s slower 25W. The Honor device provides extended usage time during web browsing and video viewing, establishing its dominance in terms of battery longevity.

Among folding smartphones, Honor Magic V3 has the edge, beating Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. It trumps with a slimmer build, a bigger battery and cost-competitive position. If a top-notch foldable phone is on your shopping list, Magic V3 surfaces as an outstanding contender against the famed Samsung series.

How To Enhance Your Photography Skills With Smartphone Accessories

Source: Yanko Design

Smartphone photography today makes it simpler to capture high-quality photos. Though phone cameras are outstanding, specific accessories can advance your photos a step further. Here’s a rundown of crucial lens attachments and extras to elevate your mobile photography skills.

Lens Attachments

Choosing a suitable lens attachment can considerably alter your shot’s viewpoint. Here are some favored choices:

  • Wide-angle lenses give the capacity to cover more of the scene, great for landscapes.
  • Fisheye lenses produce energetic, rounded photos, distorting the picture for a distinct impact.
  • Telephoto lenses pull far-off objects closer, ideal for seizing details from a distance.

You can attach these lenses in different manners, from clip-on additions to magnetic rings or cases intended for smooth lens exchange. Certain sophisticated setups let you attach DSLR lenses using adapters.

Top 10 Tools for Mobile Photography | Photography

Stabilizing Tools

Stabilizing Tools As simple as it is effective, a tripod is a handy tool in enhancing your photos. Whether shooting in dim light or using slow shutter speed, a tripod steadies your camera thus eliminating blurring propelled by unstable hands. Mini tripods with bendable legs are excellent for capturing distinct angles by looping around items.

Selfie Tools Though selfie sticks may appear as a gimmick, they come in quite handy for group photos or shots from unconventional angles. Some versions feature Bluetooth triggers, allowing you to click pictures without interacting with your phone.

Portable Lighting

Portable Lighting Photography under low-light can be challenging but is made easier with an external flash device. These compact units offer additional light, aiding you in capturing clearer images under dim light conditions. Many external flashes possess adjustable brightness and color settings, offering more control over your shots’ lighting.

A remote shutter release is an excellent tool for group photos or shots where you want to avoid physical contact with your phone, preventing shake. Some remotes also offer burst mode and timer functions, adding more versatility to your photography.

Filters

Filters can transform the mood of your photos. Polarizing filters reduce glare and enhance colors, while neutral density filters allow longer exposure times for artistic effects. Gradient filters darken specific parts of an image, creating dynamic shots.

Protective Cases

A sturdy protective case will keep your phone safe, but some cases go beyond protection. Some come equipped with grips or built-in filters, making them useful tools for mobile photographers.

With the right accessories, your smartphone can capture professional-level photos that rival traditional cameras. Happy snapping!

Usman Qadir Bids Farewell to Pakistan Cricket

usman-qadir-bids-farewell-to-pakistan-cricket

Usman Qadir, the son of the legendary leg-spinner Abdul Qadir, has announced his retirement — from Pakistan cricket. It’s interesting that for the first time, a player did not announce retirement from international cricket, leaving the door open for international cricket but with some other team.

A Heartfelt Goodbye

Usman shared the news on his official X (formerly Twitter) account and expressed immense pride in wearing the green jersey. “It has been an immense honor to represent my country, and I’m thankful for the support of my coaches and teammates who have been with me every step of the way,” he stated.

“From unforgettable victories to the challenges we faced together, each moment has shaped my career and enriched my life. I’m deeply appreciative of the passionate fans who have always stood by me; your unwavering support has meant the world.”

usman-qadir-bids-farewell-to-pakistan-cricket

He emphasized that he will continue carrying his father’s cricketing legacy forward. “As I step into this new chapter, I will be continuing my dad’s legacy, embracing both my love for cricket and the lessons he instilled in me.”

A Short Career

Usman Qadir has represented Pakistan in 26 international matches since his debut in 2020 during a T20I match against Zimbabwe. He has taken a total of 32 wickets during his brief international career.

He was labelled a product of nepotism early on in his career. Imagine having to prove yourself in the shadow of a giant like Abdul Qadir! However, he proved the critics wrong by grinding hard in domestic cricket to prove his worth.

However, he still got sporadic chances in the Pakistan team. Not only that, he was also warming benches for different franchises for past few seasons in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Mohammad Hafeez Claims Pakistan Team Has Lost ‘Winning Formula’

It’s been a rough ride for Pakistan in Test cricket on home soil, and former captain Mohammad Hafeez has some thoughts on the reason behind this decline.

Pakistan, once known for dominating in their own backyard, seems to have lost its way. The last time Pakistan won a Test match at home was way back in February 2021.

Since then, it’s been one disappointment after another, with the most recent being a 2-0 series loss to Bangladesh. So, what exactly has happened?

What’s Gone Wrong?

In a recent interview, Mohammad Hafeez stated that Pakistan’s struggles at home can be boiled down due to them losing their “winning formula.” This formula, as Hafeez put it, was something Pakistan mastered when they played their home matches in the UAE.

“Unfortunately, Pakistan is missing the formula to win at home in Pakistan. We had acquired the winning formula at Pakistan’s adopted home which was UAE,” said Hafeez.

“We became the top-ranked Test team and even won the Test mace because we knew how to win in the UAE,” Hafeez pointed out. “But ever since cricket returned to Pakistan, that formula seems to have disappeared.”

It’s hard to argue with him. The UAE was like a fortress for Pakistan. Whether it was the slow, turning pitches or the ability to capitalize on their strengths, Pakistan knew how to get the job done. However, we should not forget the quality of spin bowlers Pakistan team used to have back then.

Giving Credit to Bangladesh

Mohammad Hafeez also appreciated the Bangladesh cricket team for playing positive cricket and keeping Pakistan team under pressure. “At the international level, you can’t consider any team weak,” he said.

He was impressed with their mindset, body language, and smart decisions, which earned them a well-deserved win in Pakistan.

“Bangladesh deserved to win in Pakistan because of their mindset, body language, the way they played positive cricket and their management made good decisions,” he added.

In the end, Mohammad Hafeez also highlighted the infrastructural difference between Pakistan and their adopted home UAE, terming the deplorable conditions of the pitches as one of the main reasons behind Pakistan’s inability to benefit from their home conditions like Australia, England and India.

Babar Azam shocked the world on Tuesday night with his resignation from Pakistan’s white-ball captaincy, however, there is more to the story behind his decision.

While Babar said that he wants to focus more on his batting, former Pakistan pacer Yasir Arafat thinks that white-ball head coach Gary Kirsten played a key role in Babar’s resignation.

The T20 World Cup Disaster

Let’s take a step back to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, where Pakistan’s performance left fans pulling their hair out. Pakistan cricket team, for the first time, crashed out of the group stage.

The tournament kicked off with a disastrous loss to the USA, followed by an agonizing defeat to India. Those back-to-back losses were enough to derail Pakistan’s entire campaign and send them packing early.

Fans and media have been calling for Babar’s resignation since the end of Pakistan’s campaign. Fast forward a few months, and Babar fulfilled their wishes by stepping as captain. The timing seemed odd, but if Yasir Arafat’s claims are anything to go by, it all starts to make sense.

Gary Kirsten’s Report

According to Yasir Arafat, the seeds of Babar’s resignation were planted when Gary Kirsten penned a detailed report after Pakistan’s World Cup disaster. This report, which was supposed to be confidential but somehow made its way to the media, highlighted several key issues within the team.

Kirsten reportedly wasn’t convinced that Babar Azam was the right man to lead Pakistan — especially in the T20 format. He analyzed Babar’s captaincy throughout Pakistan’s tour of England and the World Cup, and his conclusions were clear: Babar might not be the ideal fit for the job.

While Kirsten still saw Babar as a good fit for ODI captaincy, he believed that Pakistan needed new leadership in T20s. However, Babar decided to take a different route as he chose to step down from both roles entirely.

Word has it that Babar had a conversation with a senior PCB official before making the announcement, signalling that he wanted to focus on his batting rather than juggling captaincy and criticism.

With Babar stepping down, the PCB has a big call to make. Mohammad Rizwan is widely tipped to be the next ODI captain, while the young and fiery Mohammad Haris is reportedly in line for the T20I leadership.

⁠Common Weight Loss Myths That Need To Be Debunked

common weight loss myths

When it comes to losing weight, plenty of advice exists. However, typically, what you will hear will be common weight loss myths that have been repeated so many times, that everyone believes they are true. Somehow, trying them and seeing no results isn’t evidence enough that they are myths. Let’s debunk some of these weight-loss tips together!

Losing Weight Is Not A Linear Journey

First, you must understand that losing weight isn’t always a straight path. Weight loss doesn’t happen in a straight line. Some days you’ll lose weight, and other days you might gain a little. This is normal. Weight can fluctuate due to water retention or food in your system, especially for women during their menstrual cycle. The key is consistency.

Supplements Are Not Magical

Supplements won’t magically make you lose weight, even though otherwise is believed. Many weight loss supplements make big claims, but they rarely work as advertised. The reason they might seem to help is the placebo effect, as in people become more mindful of what they eat. While a few supplements may have a small impact, they’re not a solution on their own.

Obesity Is More Complicated Than You May Think

Obesity isn’t just about willpower. It’s not fair to say obesity is only about willpower. Many factors contribute to weight gain, including genetics and medical conditions like hypothyroidism and PCOS. Hormones like leptin, which controls hunger, may also be out of balance, making weight loss harder for some people. Everyone has their own journey, it’s important to be mindful of that!

Eating Less, Moving More Is Not Enough

Eating less and moving more isn’t enough. While it’s true that you need to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight, this advice often falls short. People who just eat less and move more usually regain the weight. Losing weight requires long-term changes in habits, not just temporary fixes. Moreover, weight loss via simple cardio comes back. The most important thing you need to do is train your muscles.

Carbs Are Not Evil

Carbs aren’t the enemy. Low-carb diets can help with weight loss, but carbs alone don’t make you gain weight. The real issue is eating too many refined carbs like sugar and processed grains, not whole foods that contain carbs. So, let’s not make them the enemy here. You need carbs in your lunch for energy! Avoiding them will only make you lethargic.

These are just the tip of the iceberg. When you’re on a weight loss journey, the most important thing you need to do is your research. Know right from wrong and understand what works for you best. Be mindful that your journey will be different from those around you, it may take longer or it may require more effort, but you will get there surely.
