"I am working as hard as I can and still "I can´t get rid of my weight." As a nutritionist who has specialized in the weight loss field for over two decades, I´ve heard this said by so many men and women all too often, over the years. Yes, it is not uncommon to find people working extremely hard to lose weight. Often far too hard for their own healht. The biggest three mistakes people make when they´re trying to loss fat is to focus far too hard on the wrong things such as: following impractical promises, quick weight loss gimmicks and having a misguided understanding about dieting.
The truth is: getting caught up in weight-loss hype will only damage your success and below are three top weight-loss myths and marketing hype that you should avoid like rotten eggs.
Myth: You can get rid of 40 pounds in 3 weeks.
Truth: Yes you can lose 40 pounds in only three weeks if you did some hyper dieting such as the 500 calorie diet plan, or if you pushed a "Low gi diet " to the outer limits, but you are going feel pretty awful —and the chances of keeping it of will be extremely slim because the vast majority the weight will come back after you start eating normally. If you intend to get rid of just one pound, you need to will need too "drop" 3,500 calories from your daily eating habits.
Myth: I can eat as much as I want because I am very active.
Fact: Unless you´re working out like a Pro sportsman or woman, to get rid of excess stored calories –body fat- you will still need to keep a watch full eye on how many calories you´re taking in on a regular basis. "Incredibly calories in" seem to always add up more rapidly than "calories burnt." Just consider this for a moment: two large cookies will supply you with approximately 550 calories. To burn-off that amount of calories through exercise, the average man or woman will need to walk or run about five and half miles.
Myth: Any successful diets will involve feeling hungry for periods of time.
Fact: If you try to reduce calories randomly, then it is more than likely that you´re going to feel hungry. But, if you do some intelligent planning and keep yourself adequately replenishing with quality wholesome nutritious foods every3-4 hours, you´ll likely feel quite satisfied even on less calories. You should try to include lean protein like: turkey, chicken, fish, egg whites, skimmed milk and high fibre such as vegetables and most fruits with every meal.
