Misinformation alert! We are going to bust some major weight loss myths today!
Are you worried about how you look and how obesity is going to affect your health in the long run? We know that you are trying very hard to solve these problems, and sometimes, you might get a little carried away seeking for the fastest and most efficient way to do it.
But wait. We need to tell you all the things that you have been misinformed about weight loss.
Myth 1: Avoiding all carbohydrates
To forgo your carbohydrates also means that you are forgoing your body’s major source of energy. This will lead to a dip in your blood sugar levels that brings about dizziness, elevated heart rate, breakout of cold sweats, lethargy, and you might even collapse out of your lack of energy! The right way to do it is to reduce the amount of carbohydrates so that it doesn’t exceed 55% of your daily food intake, and replace processed and refined carbohydrates (i.e. white sandwich bread) with natural, wholesome carbohydrates (i.e. whole wheat bread).
Myth 2: Avoiding all fats
It makes sense when we say “fatty foods cause us to gain weight”, but generally fats are still considered a major nutrient class that plays an important role in supporting our body’s normal function. Not only does it help us absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E, & K, when our body is deprived of fats, problems such as constipation, dry skin, and also menstrual irregularities will arise. To avoid that, you just need to make sure that you are consuming the good fats such as avocado, olive oil, and sunflower oil.
Myth 3: Zero food intake = weight loss
Extreme dieting such as replacing all meals with just fruits and vegetables leads to highly visible and efficient outcomes, but the post-diet weight gain is very real too. Not to mention that you might also face other health problems such as dehydration, dizziness, gastric distress, malnutrition, weight regain, or worse still, it can also trigger underlying chronic illnesses. Something for you to think about before starting this diet hastily.
