For years many of us have relied on diets to keep our body weight under control, eating healthy is hard work especially if you really want to keep those results for the longest time.
Some products o dieting methods offer “speedy results” with minimal or no work required, as a regular outcome of this result in the abandonment of your goals due to the low or no visual changes on your body, a tremendous weight rebound rate and of course huge disappointments.
We found the three biggest myths about dieting that generally causes these un pleasant moments.
1. Counting calories
This is based on the regular misconception that a grown-up consumes around two thousand calories a day on a regular diet, even your physician has probably mentioned this more than once, but the truth behind it is, that only a few professionals explain is, that the quality of those calories is the secret to lose weight vs the intensity of your physical activities during the day.
It seems obvious that if you regularly eat three thousand calories on your day and you just cut that extra thousand you are going to get the body of your dreams, but that is far from reality, it all depends on how many calories you need to perform on higher intensities and the quality of the food you are eating, if you exercise at least three times a week for a period of lets say two hours, those specific days you probably need more than your regular calorie intake, this is because your muscles need more fuel to perform and quality nutrients to recover.
So it's not about counting is more about eating quality food and drinking lots of water as a habit every day.
2. Low-fat products or food.
This is one of the big ones, in an eight-year trial involving almost 50,000 women conducted by Harvard University, roughly half the participants went on a low-fat diet, while the others did not. The researchers found that the women on the low-fat plan didn't lower their risk of breast cancer, colorectal cancer, or heart disease. Plus, they didn't lose much weight, if any. New recommendations show that healthy fats, like those from nuts, fish, and avocados, are actually good for you in moderation. So add them back into your diet if you haven't already.
Worst is consuming low fat processed products such as dairy, desserts, canned food, proceed meets like sausage and other animal-based products can actually cause different health disorders, the vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble, meaning the body stores them in fatty tissue and the liver.
Thank you advertising industry for introducing this product to our lives!
3. If a diet worked on one person should work on another.
This is another misconception, a dietary plan professionally made by a nutritionist takes in consideration many particular factors such as body weight, fat percentage, height, age, gender, family trends such as diabetes, level of intensity on your workouts, how many times you work out during the week and many others, the point of all this is that there aren’t two bodies with the same needs, that is why if a particular “diet” worked for me it does not necessarily mean that it is going to work for my wife or sister.
For more than 20 years of experience had shown me that the best way to keep yourself healthy and in great physical shape is by developing amazing habits along with a great mindset, that not only will result in a controlled body weight and shape, it will provide you a way better quality of life.
