Weight Loss - Myths Debunked
Dr. Peter Dobie
When it comes to the topic of weight loss, then people have
generally a number of myths and misconceptions about it. Weight
loss relates to your health and fitness, therefore it shouldn’t be
taken lightly. It is advisable that you should go weight loss only
under the guidance of an expert doctor.
People have a number of myths that are related to weight loss
when it comes to their health. At times, it difficult to separate the
weight loss facts that are true from myths related to it. A number
of these sound quite true while you might even laugh at others.
Myth 1
I should have a more intense exercise routine, if I have to
lose more weight
Truth : Intense routine of workout is a great thing, but there are a few
things that you need to consider. First, you should have a clear mind
about that everyone has a completely different fitness level and the
intensity they can handle. For a person who has been physically
inactive for quite a long time, an intense work for him might only be a
half a mile walk every day.
If you have a similar case and walk for half a mile, then you will begin
sweating profusely and become tired. However, a person who stays
very active, then half a mile walk for him will be an easy task without
any heavy sweating. Therefore, intense has a completely different
definition for every individual.
Myth 2
You can lose weight and can eat whatever you want
Truth: Our lives are governed by natural principles. It is quite
illogical to think that your weight and health will be kept in
balance if your diet consists mainly of fast foods. It is true that
you can burn it later, but a person who lives on such diet is
hardly going to follow a proper workout routine. There are
many people who may look healthy and fit from outside, but
have dangerously high cholesterol levels. Always remember that
anything in excess is not good for your health.
Myth 3
Skipping meals is an excellent way to lose excess weight
Truth: A number of studies have clearly shown that people who
skip breakfast regularly and eat very less during the daytime are
heavier in weight than those who take nutritious breakfast and
eat 3-5 small meals in a day.
Myth 4
You will not lose weight, if you eat at night
Truth: even you do not eat your meal at night, but take heavy
meals all over the day you will surely gain a lot of weight.
Similarly, if you skip meals during the day and eat excess food
at night, even then you will gain weight. So, the key to success
here is about maintaining balance. If your body is signalling that
it is hungry for food, then you should listen to it. The truth is
that no matter what time of the day you eat, you weight will
surely gain if you overeat and do zero exercise.
Myth 5
In order to lose weight at a faster rate, I need to cut down
the calories
Truth: if you are just stuffing your face or drastically
overeating, then cutting down the calories can prove to be a
great thing. But, cutting on calories is not a good choice, if you
are eating proportionally.
