Let’s Bust Some Myths

Before discussing any weight-loss hacks, it’s time to bust some common myths related to weight-loss! Whenever we try to find the most effective way to lose weight we come across a lot of tips which in fact are myths. Some of the myths that are presented to you as ‘facts’ are described as below-  

Myth 1: To lose weight, you need to ditch those carbs

eat or not to eat

The fact is if you avoid carbs totally, your body will not have any energy to function. So, avoiding carbs to lose some kilos is not an appropriate option or else most of the time you’ll feel weak and lethargic. 

Myth 2: It doesn’t matter what you eat until you count your daily calories

doesn't matter how many calories

Every bite you take matters. The trick lies in eating food items that are rich in nutrients and simultaneously, consuming the number of calories required to keep you working. The extra calories you consume remains in your body making you overweight.

Myth 3: Cut off fat completely from your daily diet to shed those extra kilos!

Myth 3 Is butter carb?

Healthy fats don’t make you fat but rather they speed up your metabolism and helps you in attaining that toned body. Hence, cutting off the fat that is high in calories is vital than avoiding fats completely. People tend to replace fats with added sugar which spikes the insulin level as well as triggers inflammation.

Myth 4: Empty stomach is your fastest way to lose weight!

Hungry now

Half of the time you are irritated, frustrated is because your stomach is empty. Skipping meals and snacks makes the body hold on to the calories left to burn which slows down your metabolism. This triggers overeating, especially the wrong food items!

Myth 5: Move more to lose ‘more’ weight.

Moving more and eating less to lose weight is not at all a good recommendation for those who are looking to lose weight. This is similar to instructing somebody with depression to cheer up. You will end up regaining the lost weight due to physiological and biochemical factors.
