Myths about weight loss

Myths about weight loss

Continuing to analyze the weight loss and its principles, I decided to dispel the most popular myths about that in this article. Because it`s very important to lose weight without damages for health and to reach permanent, not a temporary effect.

So let analyze these myths once and for all and understand their false.

Myth 1. If you have a propensity to the completeness, it makes no sense to lose weight

Of course, there is a genetic inheritance to the corpulence. But this is just one of the reasons why you may be overweight. But it does not act alone, but only if you don`t keep a healthy lifestyle.

If other people need just to work out enough to be fit and they may not limit themselves in nutrition. Then others who have the stoutness of heredity must necessarily follow a proper diet and active lifestyle. Usually, the weight of people can vary dramatically, especially the consumption of simple carbohydrates. Therefore it is necessary to control their numbers.

But it should remember that corpulence cannot be inherited genetically, but these are the type of shape and metabolic rate that can be. Medical reasons of stoutness that can be inherited, it is considered as genetic hypothyroidism, ie slowing functioning of the endocrine glands, and therefore metabolism. But even these disease is treatable by an endocrinologist.

That is, we have no chance to hide behind a genetic predisposition to overweight and moreover to give up because of it. Highlight again that it acts only if you don`t keep a healthy diet but a sedentary lifestyle.

Myth 2. To simply reduce amounts of calories

Do you think that to lose weight you need to just reduce the number of calories? And that's  all. This is another myth. What is really necessary it`s to create a calorie deficit. So you should spend more energy and therefore calories than you consume. Then your weight loss will start.

Of course, if you consume too much food, and keep a sedentary lifestyle, you should not just reduce the number of calories, but review your diet. If you change it to a healthy ration, then the calorie content will be normal without control. And of course, add move and activity in your life.

But if you really move a lot during the day, go on foot, do sport or have heavy physical work, you can safely raise their caloric intake above the average, ie even over 2500 calories.

Myth 3. Lose weight locally, that is, in a certain part of the body

Very often we want to lose weight or excessive centimeters of a certain part of the body, for example, to grow thin in the waist, to lose weight in the legs, waist and even hands. And usually, it's our problem zone where all our hateful overweight are appeared at once. And, unfortunately, even if you have already noticed the first results of weight loss, this part of the body becomes emaciated at last.

Download the press to slim the waist, only to squat slender legs, or even do exercises only a specific, problematic part of the body - is meaningless. We have to thin down at all, but not to lose weight in only problem zones. So, you need to be patient and go directly to your goal. And you definitely will get the shape of your dreams.

Myth 4. Lose weight in a week or two before the holiday/birthday/New Year etc

Often we try to lose weight in a short period of time: in a week or two before the holiday, for example. Keep a strict diet: eat onдy apples and buckwheat, start to run, do exercises. But even if we lose a few kilos then after a short time all the weight will be back, and moreover.

Why it happens so? 
The problem is that the sudden decrease of calories leads to weight loss, but it affects negatively on our health. Keeping such a strict diet you hold your body in stressful conditions, and therefore after return to normal food, he begins to reserve all calories from food, saves them in case that stress will repeat again. That's why it`s so easy and quick to gain weight.

Consequently, we must remember, if you want always to be in shape and be healthy the only regular proper diet, but not any other will lead you to such a result.

Myth 5. Eat foods with "zero percent" of fat

You still think that products marked with 0% or 0.1%, etc. percent of fat are dietetic and are extremely useful for us? I can assure you that it isn`t correct. In fact, such products with «0% of fat», «defatted», low level of fat» and all that - it's just marketing invention of product producers, because they can`t completely rid a product of fat or control it at the level of 1-2%, they can just reduce its amount in the product. In fact, maybe, the fat amount in such food is relatively small, but the calorie content maybe not minor because producers can add sugar, flavorings and other flavor enhancers to improve taste quality.

In general, foods that contain no fats, do not have any benefits to our body and do not contribute to the assimilate of vitamins and minerals from another meal. Because it is important that every product includes the composition of proteins and fats and carbohydrates. Then we will get all the benefits from them.

If you want to lose weight as fat, but to develop muscles, then consume more protein products. In the case of dairy products, they can be with the fat of about 5%. As protein is the main source for building muscle tissue and a small amount of fat, carbohydrates that contain it products will promote better assimilate of it.

So do not fall into this promotional trap about low-fat products, because they bring no benefits, moreover, can damage our health.

Myth 6. Massage belt, massages, liposuction

You have probably seen advertisements about magic belts, which should just wear on the waist, and through massage not only get rid of extra centimeters around the waist but also make cubes press. Or the magic messages and liposuction, a procedure by which you can get rid of even a few kilos.

But let's discuss it. The problem of obesity arises from the unhealthy meal and lack of physical activity, and thus to decide to thin you should eliminate the cause. A simple mechanical impact on the body will not give any result. Although massage is a good additional tool for weight loss, which exactly improves circulation, keeps your skin in tone and gets rid of cellulite. And it is a great way to relax the whole body after exercise, especially in function complex with sauna.

Now you know about the most popular myths concerning weight loss process and just not allow such errors. 

So I wish you achieve the desired physical shape quickly and stay healthy!
