Already a month has been over in 2021 and we are in the second month of the NEW YEAR. While most of us might have taken some resolutions to lose weight as we might have put on weight during the lockdown, we must have started the journey of weight loss by this time. When it comes to shedding weight, people would of course start their weight loss process with some tips and tricks without being researching them. Well, some of them might be mere myths and not facts and so we might have to check with those tips and tricks once before acting accordingly. So, let’s check out some misconceptions revolving around weight loss.
WEIGHT LOSS SUPPLEMENTS WOULD HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT: Many of you might have heard about varieties of supplements that would do their part in your weight loss journey. However, not all supplements are effective as some are useless too. You should also think about the other side of these supplements as they might also have negative side effects.
AVOID CARBS COMPLETELY: When it comes to weight loss, you would have definitely said no to carbs thinking that it would help you in the process of shedding weight. But not all carbs are bad for your body. There are also low-fat carbs which would stimulate weight loss thereby curbing your hunger and cravings. So, you could choose single-ingredient carbs that are healthy for you.
IGNORING BREAKFAST WOULD HELP YOU: If you think skipping your breakfast would do best for your weight loss journey, then that’s gonna be a blunder mistake. Having your breakfast is an essential part of your day and skipping it would automatically make you binge on your lunchtime meals thereby interrupting your weight loss process. So, try to have a protein-rich breakfast if you wish to lose weight.
CRASH DIET WOULD DO ITS MAGIC: Thinking that a crash diet plan would help you achieve your goal, then you are wrong. While it might help you at the initial stage, it would reverse the process by gaining more once you start to eat again. So, ditch the crash diet and go for healthy eating.
SAYING A BIG NO TO SUGAR: Since it is well-known that all sugar is high in calories, people would cut down taking sugar completely to lose weight as it is high in calories. Might be avoiding sugar completely is just a myth. You could still have it in a moderate amount and avoid products infused with added sugar. This would be the best thing you could do for yourself.
CUT DOWN SNACKING: Munching snacks is a big mistake if one is trying to lose weight. So, people would often cut down on snacking as it would have a negative impact on their weight loss process. It’s high time that you have to realize that it’s just a myth. It is not about snacking but it is about what you are snacking. Whenever you feel like snacking, you have to have a piece of fruit or some low-fat yogurt between the meals as it might, in turn, lower food hankerings and overeating at mealtimes or eating some other unhealthy snacks. So, it is better to move from unhealthy snacking to healthy snacking which would eventually help you achieve your goal.
