Myths about weight loss

and stereotypes prevent to lose weight often. How to overcome them?

Myth No. 1: Heredity

The completeness is transmitted not on genes, and through a way of life which will be inherited by family from generation to generation. In such families greasy food, large portions and they like to spend free time on a sofa. The inactive way of life and overeating lead to a set of weight: in such families children at teenage age become full. And having matured, continue to observe traditions of family.

To lose weight, it is necessary to overcome addictions. Increase a share of vegetables and fruit in the menu, reduce number of fat products: sausage, fat, mayonnaise, etc. Try not to fry food, it is better to extinguish or use the double boiler.

Violation of traditions is usually perceived badly. You do not say to family at once that you try to lose weight. Tell them about it when the first results appear.
