5 myths to lose weight that don’t work Copy Cwp April 8, 2018 No Comments There are days when we would do the impossible to lose weight, and there are a thousand “miraculous” tips and recipes… but you don’t have to believe everything. Many of these tips, even though we have heard them time and time again, are wrong. Today I present to you 5 myths to lose weight that you should not follow. Fats are bad It all depends on the type of fats you want to consume. Nutritionists say that, obviously, the fat in chips, cookies and fried foods can increase cholesterol and increase your risk of suffering from diseases. But good fats, like those in nuts, avocados, and salmon, protect your heart and help your body overall. Additionally, by following a balanced diet, those “good fats” can help you stay slim. You should not eat between meals. Eating small amounts of food frequently is a good way to control hunger and choose your foods better. Healthy snacks like nuts, fruits and yogurt will also help you maintain your energy levels throughout the day. Calories are the enemy Not all calories are the same. The type of calories, the time at which they are ingested and the quality of the calories can modify the effect of calories on the body. Carbohydrates are bad Although it is true that consuming too much refined carbohydrates such as white bread or white rice can contribute to weight gain or cardiovascular disease, there is no research that proves that “good carbohydrates”, such as grains, fruits, vegetables or legumes, can affect your health. On the contrary, numerous medical articles assure that a diet high in plants and It is associated with better health. You should not eat before training Eating on an empty stomach or a full stomach will not affect the number of calories you burn during an exercise session. What is totally true is that if you stop eating before a session, you will lose weight but in muscle mass. Likewise, energy drinks often cause more harm than help, as they contain numerous chemicals that can harm your health. Therefore, it is better that before you exercise, eat a piece of fruit, such as banana, peach or mango. I hope this list has opened your eyes and now you know that you should not listen to all the tips that they tell you or that you find on the internet. Do you know any other fake tips?
