It's time to clear up Facts & Myths about Weight Loss ✔
🔎 Losing weight without dieting or exercising:
There’s no magic way to lose weight without a sensible diet and regular exercise.
🔎 Men lose weight quicker than women:
Men tend to have more lean muscle tissue, which burns more calories than body fat, even during rest. And when men and women cut the same number of calories, men usually do lose more weight -- but it’s short-term. “Over the long-term, the playing field is more equal,” says dietician David Grotto, RDN, self-proclaimed “guyatician” and author of The Best Things You Can Eat. “It’s not a race to see who can lose weight the fastest. The important thing is that you’re both going in the same direction.”
🔎 Carbs make you put on weight:
Eaten in the right quantities and as part of a balanced diet, carbohydrates will not lead to weight gain. Eat whole grain and whole-meal carbohydrates such as brown rice and whole-meal bread, and potatoes with the skins on to increase your intake of fiber and don't fry starchy foods when trying to lose weight.
🔎 Stress can make it difficult to lose weight:
Stress can make it difficult to lose weight. Stress can trigger cravings for carb-rich snack foods which tend to calm stress hormones. Stress hormones can also increase fat storage. In addition to physical exercise, relaxation techniques can help control weight.
🔎 Using red plates helps people eat less:
According to one study, using red plates helps people eat less. Researchers believe that the color red is associated with stopping and caution, which subconsciously encourages people to be more aware of what they are eating and how often.
🔎 Drinking water helps you lose weight:
Drinking water helps you lose weight. Water does not cause you to lose weight, but it does keep you hydrated and might help you snack less. Water is essential for good health and wellbeing. Sometimes thirst can be mistaken for hunger – if you're thirsty you may snack more.
🔎 Most of the weight you lose is due to breathing alone:
Where does it all go? What happens to fat when we lose it? Believe it or not, more than 84% of it turns into carbon dioxide, and exits our bodies when we breathe out!
🔎 Supplements can helps you lose weight:
Supplements can helps you lose weight
In addition to a healthy diet and exercise, there are several vitamins and nutrients that, when taken as a supplement, can promote healthy weight loss. Keep in mind that OTC weight loss supplements are not the same as prescription drugs designed to treat people with obesity, known as anti-obesity drugs, and weight loss supplements are excipients only!!
