❌️ Diet Myths ❌️
Read why👇
1- You should not eat as much protein as you want. Consuming very large amounts can cause kidney problems, elevated uric acid and can raise your cholesterol levels (mainly animal protein). Recommendations for healthy people are 0.8-1g per kg per day! Refer to your nutritionist to learn how to incorporate that into your diet.
2- Plant based milks do not necessarily lead to faster weight loss. On the contrary, they are usually lower in proteins and higher in fats and carbihydrates than cow's milk. I usually like to use oat milk in desserts and coffee because it gives a nice flavor, not for the purpose of weihht loss.
3- This is a huge topic, not that mindful eating is not effective, on the contrary, it is veey effectibe but not without a proper healthy calorie deficit!
4- Gluten free diets are not for everyone. People with celiac disease or sensitivity (intolerance) to gluten should avoid it. Otherwise, you will be missing on wholegrains and B vitamins if you avoid healthy gluten containing food. Most gluten free food is made with corn or potato flour, which are very simple carbohydrates (low in fiber).
