PAY NO ATTENTION TO THESE 9 WEIGHT
LOSS MYTHSJane Sheeba | slickwellness.com
Losing weight is a life time goal for many
Losing weight is a life time goal for many
So it is indeed a lifestyle, rather than a temporary “process”...
On one hand we have lifestyle changes
On the other hand we have the so-called weight loss myths
If you are someone who believes in any of the following weight loss myths, then you are ruining your weight loss efforts.
Let’s talk about the myths
#1 Skipping meals help you lose weight
Without proper meals, your body will be deprived of energy
Naturally your body will want you to eat a LOT
#2 Low fat or fat-fee is the way to go
For one, all fats are NOT equal
Second, you NEED certain amount of fat for healthy
functioning of brain and other organs
(FYI: Your brain is 60% fat!)
#3 All fats are equal
Completely avoiding fats thinking that all fats are equal is
absurd
Artificial, or processed fats are certainly not good - like the trans
fats(Click here for more details on this)
#4 Replace sugar with artificial sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners can fool your taste buds.
But not your body!
Your body knows when to get “satisfied” with that craving
And, artificial sweeteners are not 100% safe to replace sugar
#5 Eat whatever you want, but remember to exercise
Over eating and hoping that you can compensate with exercise is
also a myth
Exercising and healthy eating should go hand in hand
#6 Nuts are fattening
Nuts contribute to the healthy fats that you need for healthy
functioning of your body
As long as you consume nuts in moderation, you don’t have to
worry
#7 Losing weight is (always) healthy
Do not EVER assume that losing weight is always healthy
Unexpected weight loss could signal a serious health issue
If you are on a weight loss mission and if you notice that
you lose weight as you expected it is fine
#8 Drinking lots of water will help you lose weight
This partial fact is simply overrated when it comes to
weight loss
For one, you cannot survive merely with water
Second, while it is true that drinking water helps with weight loss, water cannot melt your fat
Drinking water
suppresses your appetite,
keeps you hydrated and
speeds up your metabolism.
It also helps to flush out toxins from your body.
#9 Any weight loss approach is fine as long as you lose weight
Never ever fall into this trap
Healthy weight loss is the only way to go.
Make lifestyle changes. Be active. Eat healthy and lose
weight.
