Are you tangled in the web of weight loss fads and unlimited contradicting information on the web? hopefully you haven’t fallen victim to one of these fads, wasting money and time with the hopes to lose a few pounds, only to acquire a lot more back in return. I know, it’s aggravating and millions of people share your pain. below I describe several myths that you might be doing ideal now to try and lose weight. If you are, then stop wasting your time and money.

MYTH # 1) losing WEIGHT requires HUNGER PAINS

The fact is, whatyou eat is a lot more crucial than how muchyou eat. If you don’t eat enough, your metabolism will slow down, making your body want to store fat. As a result, your initial weight loss will come from water and muscle, instead of fat.

You must try to consume healthy food choices and save those foods (and beverages) that are high in fat, sugar and calories for special occasions. Yes, you can have those unhealthy food choices from time to time, in fact, it’s encouraged. Without a cheat meal or snack every now and then, you will get frustrated and lose sight of your goal. Please note, I said a cheat meal, not a cheat day. I see too lots of people doing cheat days, which is way too much for your body to get rid of on a weight loss plan.

MYTH # 2) eat NO FAT WHATSOEVER

This is a very old and popular myth. Your fat intake must be limited to around 15% of your overall daily calorie intake. Fat is needed in any diet to lubricate your joints, keeps your skin smooth and elastic, supply a source of energy, help your nervous system function appropriately and more. Olive, flaxseed and fish oils are good sources of fats. Fats to avoid include saturated fats and hydrogenated fats (also known as trans fats).

MYTH # 3) avoid CARBS

You’ve certainly heard this before, “Carbohydrates are bad for you and must be avoided”. This myth has been trending lately as fad diets like Atkins and its copycats become a lot more and a lot more popular. The truth is carbohydrates have a moderate amount of calories (about half as lots of as fat). basic carbohydrates (sugar) must be limited, but complex carbohydrates: whole grain and starches are high in nutrients. The problem with carbohydrates is portion control. too lots of people eat at restaurants with substantial portion sizes loaded with 5 times the amount of carbs needed for a given meal. the best way to control your carb portions is to cook for yourself.

MYTH # 4) MEAT IS THE only way TO get enough PROTEIN

Meat is a terrific source of protein, but it certainly is not the only source. Meat can also be high in fat and sodium so lots of people look for alternative sources of protein. Egg whites are a prime source of protein and so are various vegetables and legumes like peas, spinach, Brussels sprouts and broccoli.

MYTH #5: exercise AT least 30 CONSECUTIVE minutes TO get AN effective CALORIE BURNING WORKOUT

Adults must engage in a workout regimen for at least 30 minutes a day at least 4 days a week. research has shown that the activity does not need to be done all at once. The 30 minute routine can be split into two 15 minute intervals and supply the same health benefits.

MYTH #6: VEGETARIANS and VEGANS ARE healthier EATERS THAN CARNIVORES

Vegetarians on average eat fewer calories and less fat than carnivores (non-vegetarians). However, vegetarians can make eating choices that contribute to weight acquire by eating large amounts of high-fat, high-calorie foods as well as food with little nutritional value. The term vegetarian is not synonymous with health.

The best way to be sure you are getting a well balanced, nutrient rich diet is to eat a lot more whole foods and less processed, pre-packaged foods and to avoid eating out as much as possible. Make eating out an occasional treat, but try to prepare a lot of of your meals yourself and you will be on your way to living a healthier, leaner lifestyle.
