So, what are the right diets and all the myths about diets.
To effectively lose weight, reduce the amount of sugar that you consume. For example, instead of milk chocolate eat bitter.
A healthy lifestyle is usually associated with a diet. For some, this is a simple starvation, for others - the rejection of flour and sweet. In both cases, the meaning is reduced to various prohibitions and restrictions. This approach can terrify the majority of stomachs that risk giving themselves to the power of healthy eating. In truth, the diet (daita), translated from Greek, is a special way of life, the essence of which is in truth: "It's not what we eat, what time it is, but how we do it." For this, exhausting gastronomic feats are not required at all. Let's talk about the right diet and all the myths about diet.
Myth number 1. Sugar contributes to the appearance of extra pounds and harms health.
Dishes based on sugar - cakes, cookies and cakes - are so stuffed with calories that at times only looking at them is considered a terrible violation of any diet.
In fact : besides that sugar, a provider of glucose (which has a beneficial effect on brain cells, since it helps them to make quick decisions and think), it also charges us with energy and gives us a good mood.
What concerns the intake of sugar in food, you need to consider that at different times the body consumes a different number of calories. All the food received in the morning is processed by the stomach into energy, thus, it charges us for the whole day. A few chocolate sweets or a small piece of cake, eaten at this time, are completely appropriate and, moreover, are useful. Saha, if there is to eat in the afternoon will be superfluous, and for dinner just an unnecessary product, because by the evening the body is tuned for sleep, and he does not want to work at all. And all the calories he will procure will be postponed tomorrow. However, tomorrow they will not be able to spend it either, because a new day will come, another food will appear ...
Eat more useful sweets
The meaning of the diet is not as a whole in rejecting the product, but in reducing the amount of its use. For example, you can reduce the amount of sugar if you replace milk chocolate with bitter. Over time, you will get used to his taste and begin to enjoy the unsweetened food.
Myth number 2. For the sake of health, you must give up bread, corn, potatoes and other food that contains starch
Some of the products are classified as "banned" due to high caloric content and incompatibility with other products.
In fact : food in which there is starch, becomes high-calorie and fat due to improper cooking. Plenty of potatoes, seasoned with mayonnaise, fried in oil is really not good. But for lunch, rye bread with a light soup (without potatoes) is a very good food for maintaining health. These simple combinations are not only acceptable in the diet, but also necessary, since starch is a complex carbohydrate, a supplier of energy to the body.
Starches are perfectly combined and not very well combined with other products. Macaroni, sweet potatoes, potatoes and legumes do not need to be put on the table if there are fish or meat.
Myth number 3. To effectively lose weight, you must drink at least 2 liters of fluid per day
They say that water cleans the body of toxins, and also dulls the feeling of hunger.
In fact : of course, liquid is needed for the normal functioning of our body. However, replacing meals with an abundant amount of water or tea will not promote the acceleration of metabolism and will not destroy excess fat. Moreover, packaged juices and carbonated drinks contain sugar and a sufficient amount of preservatives, during the day their use only harms the process of losing weight and health in general. While pure drinking water, if you drink it between meals, it really helps to remove toxins and toxins from the body. An excellent alternative to drinking at night will be saturated with moisture fruits. Together with cottage cheese they will be a substitute for a dense dinner.
The body knows how much to drink
The average amount of liquid per day is 1.5-3 liters. This water, tea, fresh juices, soups and other "liquid" dishes. All this contributes not only to losing weight, liquid is an excellent tool for preventing constipation. While the lack of water affects our appearance: the skin becomes flabby, dry, wrinkles appear.
There are people who are overweight due to fluid retention in the body. In this case, the intake of water should not be carried away. It is better to consult a specialist who will prompt and determine the individual rate of water per day.
Myth number 4. Juice from grapefruit helps to lose weight.
It is known that regular consumption of grapefruit helps to fight excess weight.
In fact : this is one of the most persistent dietary misconceptions. The products that "burn" fats in nature do not exist at all. In moderation, grapefruit improves digestion. Organic acids, fiber, pectins, lignin, plant proteases - all this promotes food, promotes bowel cleansing, stimulates liver activity and, accordingly, improves fat metabolism. That's without physical exertion and reducing the number of calories lose weight is unlikely to work.
Medicines and grapefruit.
Citrus does not combine with a certain number of medicines. It has been proven that girls who take birth control pills and who drink grapefruit juice one day may well find themselves pregnant, and those taking antidepressants are completely depressed. Therefore, during the intake of medicines, it is necessary to abandon the freshly squeezed juice of this representative of the citrus family.
