Weight Loss Myths On The Internet

The same is happening in the world of fitness. There are many tips that “help you lose weight”. Of these, we have to carefully selected the good ones, to avoid the unpleasant consequences. We present some busted myths about weight loss we met very often:

Is It Safe To Skip Meals?

The biggest mistake is to think that if you skip a meal, you’ll lose weight easier. This weight loss myth is totally wrong. Even more serious is that often breakfast is the meal you skip. Skipping breakfast will make you eat more at lunch to compensate. Follow the main meals of the day, and especially not avoid any of them.

Low-Fat Diet

To lose weight, you must have a diet low in fats. Wrong! 25% of the calories consumed daily should come from monounsaturated fats. A low-fat diet disrupts absorbing vitamins A, D and E in the body and affects the cardiovascular system and nervous system.

Weight Loss Myth About Carbohydrates

Perfect weight loss diet is low in carbohydrates. There are two types of carbohydrates, simple and complex. Our body needs carbohydrates, but only the complex ones, found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Simple carbohydrates are those of pasta, bread and cakes.So this weight loss myth is partially false.
