 5 weight loss myths that busted when you started your weight loss journey?

Ms. Tanya Varshney

 “YOU NEED TO STARVE TO LOSE WEIGHT ”- You do not have to starve as it will hamper your metabolism, and put you in a deficiency of nutrition. Crash diets are unlikely to result in long-term weight loss. In fact, they can sometimes lead to longer-term weight gain. The main problem is that this type of diet is too hard to maintain. When you follow a well-balanced diet plan you don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight. In fact, the more quality food you eat the fuller you feel and lose weight In a healthier manner.

* CARBS MAKE YOU PUT ON WEIGHT-Eaten in the right quantities and as part of a balanced diet, carbohydrates will not, on their own (that is, without butter, creamy sauces, and so on added to them) lead to weight gain. Eat whole grain and wholemeal carbohydrates such as brown rice and wholemeal bread, and potatoes with the skins on to increase your intake of fiber, and don’t fry starchy foods when trying to lose weight.

* SKIPPING MEALS IS A GOOD WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT –  Skipping meals is not a good idea. To lose weight and keep it off, you have to reduce the number of calories you consume and increase the calories you burn through exercise. But skipping meals altogether can result in tiredness and may mean you miss out on essential nutrients. You will also be more likely to snack on high-fat and high-sugar foods, which could result in weight gain.

* A lot of junk food is marketed as healthy.  Examples include low-fat, fat-free, and processed gluten-free foods, as well as high-sugar beverages. You should be skeptical of any health claims on food packaging, especially on processed items. These labels usually exist to deceive – not inform. Some junk food marketers will encourage you to buy their fattening junk food. In fact, if the packaging of a food tells you that it’s healthy, there’s a chance it’s the exact opposite.

* YOU ONLY NEED TO DO CARDIO – No, you don’t need to do cardio to lose fat. Weight loss, including fat reduction, is typically caused by a calorie deficit: slashing your calorie intake, increasing the number of calories burned, or both. That said, cardio will help you burn calories more quickly, increasing your fat loss potential.
