There are so many claims circulating about what he does and what he doesn't, that we are often confused about how and what. The truth is sometimes completely different than we believe ourselves. In good faith, to do the right thing, we often avoid foods that should be on the menu.

1.It is not good to drink while eating, because it slows down digestion and stimulates the creation of reserves.


It's not true. The truth is the opposite. Therefore, drink while eating a meal, even if you have a diet with which you want to lose a few pounds. It is important to avoid carbonated and sugary drinks and alcohol because they contain too many calories. A glass of water will fill your stomach and you will notice satiety faster.

2.Diets that allow us to lose four kilograms in 14 days are better and more stimulating than those whose results we only notice in a month or two.

Not true. Weight should be reduced gradually. A strict diet and fasting will quickly show you the desired number on the scales, but they only achieve a short-term effect. The pounds you lost quickly will regain you just as quickly. Only long-term maintenance of the recommended body weight allows you to shake off the mistakes that caused obesity.

3.It is occasionally good to exclude dairy products from the diet because they contribute to obesity.

Not true. We gain weight because of too much food and not because of dairy products. So if you want to control your weight, eat only two milk meals a day instead of three. Yogurt should be preferred, but avoid full-fat, fermented cheeses and spreads.

4.It is good to eat two servings of cheese every day: one for lunch, the other for dinner.

It's not true. The cheese is healthy and is recommended mainly for its calcium content, but some cheeses contain a lot of fat. Two milk meals a day are recommended, but not necessarily with cheese. If the meal contains, for example, red meat (with a lot of fat), it should not include cheese.

5.It is easier to lose weight with non-fat products.

It is true and it is not true. The result of the diet depends on the amount of food consumed, and this amount is the trap of low-fat products. Because of their composition, we believe we can eat more of them, and in addition, they often encourage running. Most of these products contain less sugar and fat, which the body needs. You can also lose weight by eating normal foods. It is important to compose the menu correctly, pay attention to calories and food composition, eat low-fat meals, choose the right time to eat and take care of physical activity..

6.It is possible to lose weight without giving up the foods

It is true and it is not true. It is important that all food groups are represented in the meals and that the body gets everything it needs to function normally. Do not eliminate foods from the menu, just reduce their amount.

7.Starch contains too many calories, so goodbye, starchy foods.

Not true. Starchy foods are essential in the diet, even dietary ones. They evoke a feeling of satiety until the next meal without eating anything in between. Starch is also a useful source of energy.

8.Anyone who wants to lose weight must completely eliminate sugar.

It's not true. No substance should be missing from the diet, as each food group plays an appropriate role. For weight loss, it is sufficient to reduce the intake of sugar, gradually: pour only half a teaspoon into coffee or tea instead of whole, or use sugar substitutes.

9.All types of bread have the same nutritional value.

It's not true. White bread has a different nutritional value than rye or corn bread. Especially baked in the proper form has more calories - and even more if it contains more yeast, fats and additives.

10.It is better to eat a sandwich than to skip a meal.

It's true. This is also true if you have a diet. If we skip a meal, the body strives to build up reserves. Therefore, it is much better to eat a sandwich, but one without butter, mayonnaise and fermented cheese. And if you eat another apple or orange, you’ve got everything you need.

11.There is no substitute for meat.

Not true. Meat is indeed the largest source of iron that the body desperately needs, but it is also found in hazelnuts, whole grains, seeds and green vegetables. However, since they are difficult for the body to use, it is good to combine these foods with those that contain vitamin C (it accelerates the absorption of iron).

12.Excessive at lunch or dinner is corrected the next day.

It's not true. The body needs energy after sleep, and if you skip breakfast, it will start to pump up supplies after 10 p.m. The consequences will be detrimental to all types of muscles. Skipping breakfast also dictates a more hearty lunch or a hypercaloric snack in the middle of the afternoon.

13.Some foods should be permanently eliminated from the diet.

Not true. Once we start implementing a weight loss program, it is allowed to gradually return to the food appropriate foods that were not allowed during the weight loss course, such as jam for breakfast, fatter cheese for lunch or wine for dinner. Just don’t overdo it with quantity.

14.Losing weight and maintaining weight require daily exercise.

It's not true. Moderate physical activity, such as half an hour of continuous moderate walking a day, is sufficient to burn fat.

I remembered my coach telling me one of the ways to lose weight and lose fats is to drink water after an hour of eating. She said it isn't good to drink while eating. Why is that? I didn't mind her because how will someone not drink while eating. What if the food is peppery?
