Quite often it is impossible to lose weight just because many are under the influence of popular stereotypes. Whether actually low-calorie food helps to lose weight? To become harmonious whether it is necessary to count calories?
Let's consider five fundamental myths concerning calories.
Myth 1. Counting calories, will really get rid of excessive weight.
Calculation of calories, as we know, disciplines, promotes to learn amount of the energy received daily by our body together with food. But to lose weight, there is no need so яро to calculate calories. How often happens, too scrupulous approach to any business instantly tires and everything engenders desire to stop. Therefore, without having mathematical mentality, just it is more preferable to forget about calories and to watch the size of the daily portions.
Myth 2. Low-calorie food promotes weight loss.
Low-calorie food won't save you from excessive kilograms. For example, apple contains 50 calories, but having eaten a box of apples, to really receive enormous amount of sugar and essential load directly of a pancreas. Therefore everything depends on time of the use and quantity of products.
Moreover, most of people, deciding to lose weight, buy products with inscriptions on packing "dietary", "fat-free", "0 calories". But how often happens, the similar product covers artificial and in many cases absolutely not harmless ingredients.
Myth 3. A fundamental indicator – food caloric content.
Quite often we refuse some products, regarding them too high-calorie. But in essence, it is necessary to take into account and nutritional value of the eaten food: amount of carbohydrates, fats, proteins. It is significant that who already threw off unnecessary kilograms, but wishes to support weight and to look behind the health. The excess use of mainly plain carbohydrates – fruit, farinaceous food, various sweeties at a loss to fats and proteins – eggs, meat, cottage cheese is very harmful.
It is important to remember three simplest principles that the correlation in the daily menu of nutritive matters was exclusively proper.
- for breakfast it is necessary to use both carbohydrates, and fats, and proteins (caviar sandwich red and a portion of porridge); - for lunch – carbohydrates and proteins (brown rice and the fish baked with any vegetables); - for dinner – cellulose and proteins (salad vegetable and skim cheese).
Naturally, caloric content is very essential to weight loss, but to support weight important to remember a uniform ratio in a diet of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. The diet is a temporary measure, only treatment, and support of weight requires balanced good nutrition.
Myth 4. Sport – the beautiful burner of calories.
All of us believe that doing sports, we lose enormous amount of energy. It is, a little, to whom will have the luck to lose more than 500 calories. Our organism spends a set of forces for habitual maintenance of activity – exchange processes, breath, "creation" of new cages. Moreover, the more muscles in a body, the they request energy more. Plus from similar trainings – increase in an organism of muscle bulk. The girl who is systematically engaged in trainings and having a fine muscular corset will be able even lying on a sofa, to burn more calories, at the same time everything is and not to gain weight.
Myth 5. The low-calorie rigid diet helps weight loss.
Some nutritionists advise quite rigid diets for weight loss with caloric content sometimes even lower than 1000. But similar restrictions in food not only enter all organism into a condition of a stress, but also are a depression source, moreover worsen a condition of hair and skin. You remember, strict diets though promote dropping excessive weight, but, as we know, there are much sparing methods of deprivation of hated kilograms.
