The Big Fat Lies About Diet & Weight Loss: What You Need to Know

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by weight loss, you’re not alone.


✔️ Tried multiple diets with no success?

✔️ Lost weight, only to gain it back?

✔️ Confused by all the conflicting advice?

✔️ Just hate dieting altogether?


We get it. The weight loss industry thrives on myths and misinformation, making it nearly impossible to know what actually works.


Here at Dragman Holistic Health, we take a real, science-backed approach to weight management—one that doesn’t rely on fad diets, calorie restriction, or extreme exercise. Instead, we focus on what’s really happening in your body.

Because weight loss isn’t just about calories.


A little of my story....


For most of my life, I struggled to gain weight, but after my first pregnancy, everything changed.

➡️ I gained a lot of weight.

➡️ I started experiencing aches, pains, and fatigue.

But I was able to get some control back on my weight, then....

After baby #2? Things were pretty good until she was about 1 year old. Then symptoms started to creep in little by little: depression, anxiety, irritability then the weight and exhaustion hit hard and I felt not only aweful with 2 under 6 years old but something wasn't right.

Doctors ran tests and found I had nutritional deficiencies, high thyroid antibodies (lab results didn't go past 1000) which turned into Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis diagnosis. So, I did what I thought was best—natural prescriptions, supplements, monthly blood panels—but nothing really helped. That’s when I discovered muscle testing and started a holistic approach with diet changes and whole food supplements. Within weeks, my symptoms started improving. My husband noticed and joined me. Then we started our kids on a program, too.


Now? We’re healthier and continue to improve all the time.

And I want to help YOU get there, too.


The Big Fat Lies About Weight Loss

Let’s bust some common weight loss myths:

“Weight loss is all about calories in, calories out.” (Nope.)

“Fat makes you fat.” (Wrong again.)

“Just eat less and exercise more.” (If only it were that simple.)

Here’s the truth:

Your body will hold onto weight if it doesn’t feel safe.

Nutritional deficiencies, organ dysfunction, and toxins play a huge role.

Weight loss isn’t just about food—it’s about healing the body.


Why Your Body Holds Onto Weight

If you can picture a triangle, there are three key reasons why your body resists weight loss:

🔺 The Triangle of Weight Gain

1️⃣ Nutritional Deficiencies – Missing key vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients.

2️⃣ Organ Dysfunction – If your liver, gut, adrenals, or thyroid aren’t functioning well, weight loss is nearly impossible.

3️⃣ Stored Toxins – Your body stores toxins in fat cells to protect you.

If any part of this triangle collapses, the whole system falls apart.

🚨 More deficiencies = More stress on the organs

🚨 More stress = Harder to absorb nutrients

🚨 Harder to absorb nutrients = More symptoms + more weight retention

The real question isn’t “How do I lose weight?”—it’s “Why is my body holding onto weight in the first place?”


The Sugar Connection

Let’s talk about one of the biggest weight loss roadblocks: SUGAR. If you experience cravings, energy crashes, or mood swings, sugar is likely playing a role.

Check out this Sugar Quiz  and see where you stand. Be sure to count your false answers. If you have more than 4, that’s a BIG clue that sugar is playing a role in your weight retention.

Just look at what sugar does along with the 141 reasons why we recommend cutting out sugar:

#27 – Sugar contributes to obesity.

#98 – Sugar promotes excessive food intake in obese people.

#136 – Sugar leads to fatigue, mood swings, and depression.

Even if weight isn’t your main concern, sugar is still wreaking havoc on your body.


The Fat Lie: Why Healthy Fats Are Essential

For decades, we were told “fat makes you fat”—but the truth is, healthy fats are essential for weight loss, hormone balance, and energy.

Good fats:

• Grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, avocado, animal fats

• Omega-3s from fish, flaxseeds, walnuts

Bad fats:

• Processed vegetable oils (corn, soy, canola)

• Margarine and trans fats

A low-fat, high-carb diet actually increases inflammation, weight gain, and hormone issues. So instead of cutting fat, focus on eating the right kinds of fat.


Peptides: Unlocking Your Body’s True Fat-Burning Potential


Your body is like a car built with a specific blueprint (your DNA). Some people have a blueprint that makes their engine run in “fuel storage mode” (storing fat) instead of “fuel-burning mode” (burning fat), no matter how hard they exercise or how clean they eat.

This is where peptides come in.

🔹 Peptides act like an advanced software update for your body’s metabolism.

🔹 They override the old “store fat” message and encourage your body to burn fuel efficiently.

🔹 They help regulate appetite, balance hormones, and support healthy metabolism.

One peptide I highly recommend is Lean Peptide, which helps reduce visceral fat—the dangerous fat stored around your organs that increases the risk of chronic diseases.
