Myths About Lossweight

Myths About Lossweight
If the problem of weight loss, we will hear many myths that we do not even know the truth.

Here are some myths that we often hear of everyday, and how you can react to it.

MYTH #1: Drinking water / cold water too much can make you fat.
This one is really just a myth. You already know we will increase the weight if the total calories we consume is greater than the total calories burned our bodies. Well, you need to know, the white water have no calories a.k.a 0 (zero). So basically the white water will not make you fat. You may even need between 8 -12 glasses of water per day for health and optimal body function.

MYTH #2: I Descendants Fat.
These words have a point but also arguably less precise. True because you inherit the gene from both your parents. These genes determine whether you're the type who easily overweight or not. Not appropriate because this is not the main cause of your fat.
Basically you fat largely due to an inherited habit. For example, your mom and dad like to eat food that had coconut milk, and cooking was always a coconut milk, fatty or high calorie. Automatic what is available at the dinner table for a meal your family will certainly also as a member of the family. Automatically, you often see a family of father, mother and children all the fat. Actually it will not happen if you can manage your diet properly and have sufficient activity. (So do not quibble if you are overweight because of heredity) because in essence you are choosing what you eat.

MYTH #3: Dinner makes Fat?
Dinner will not make you fat if you eat a timely manner. Normally you can have dinner between the hours of 18:00 to 19:00. What makes you fat is easier if you eat fried rice by 11 pm, and after eating you drowsy and went to bed. Your body will automatically convert excess calories into fat stores.

MYTH #4: I will lose weight if you reduce eating / not eating.
This is something not quite right. True, to lose weight you must reduce amount of calories that come in, or in other words, calories in must be less than calories burned. The problem is if you eat less or reduce calories in, you also automatically reduce the nutritional needs of your body needs. Instead, your body will slow metabolism, you will be more difficult to lose weight, and even if you lose weight, your weight will go up again as before or even more heavy.

Fat-Free Food, Can Make Grease!

Fat-Free Food, Can Make Grease!
Topic this time is a topic which I think is very important. Here I will give you a little "science" how do I read the label that is on almost every packaged food you buy at the supermarket or wherever it is. Nowadays almost all the food provided "Nutrition Facts" or composition of nutrients contained in the product and are listed on the label.

Well this is where we like to be deceived. Many products on the market that offers products to offer low fat, non fat, fat free and so forth. For people who want to lose weight will usually be immediately tempted by the offer because they will think "well ... if fat free means I can eat, after all, do not make fat?"

The biggest mistake is the perception or assumption that most people who say "Do not eat fatty foods, you will be fat!"


Well actually what happened so we've really eat fat-free foods or foods labeled "diet" but why not add trim even more fat?

We return to the previous lesson. General rule is: if you consume more calories than you spend, your body will convert excess calories into fat.

Well now every meal must contain calories. As well as non-fat milk or fat-free dressings or any product there must be calorie diet. Each of everything we eat contains calories. When our bodies move or perform daily activities, we burn calories.

Suppose that your body burns 1300 calories per day and you eat food with a total of 1500 calories a day, excess calories will be converted into fat. Well, fat-free foods or non-fat does not mean calorie free. Usually the calories are still too high. For example, you drink a day of non-fat milk, non-fat yogurt, low-fat crackers, diet cola and others who labeled diet. Now suppose that the total calories you eat of these products is 1500 calorie diet but your body only burns 1300 calories, the result is the excess 200 calories that your body will be stored into fat stores.

Well have not you understand why non-fat foods are not meant to be eaten as much as possible?

Now you must learn how to read food labels. Be alert to non-fat label because you have to check exactly how much calories it contains? If the large calorie, it's useless if your goal is to control your weight.

One thing that people do not understand is the serving size. Suppose that in one of the listed soda calories per serving is 80 calories. Then mentioned that the serving size is 100 milliliters. Well if we do not understand must immediately tempted to buy the drink and drink until they run out directly. What we forget to see is if the contents in one package is 400 milliliters. This means that if you drink one bottle directly, the calories that you enter is 80 calories x 4 servings each with 320 calories! no wonder why many people become overweight because they do not understand.

So counting calories is not easy and not comfortable. But if you are accustomed to, this would be an easy thing and you will get benefits in the long term.

When you have problems with health, you will tend to return to normal eating. The tendency is that you usually will eat larger portions than before the diet (known as "revenge").

Why You Are Fat And Get More Fat?

Why You Are Fat And Get More Fat?
As you have learned, you now must have understood how the BMI (Body Mass Index) of your.
Currently you need to understand why how we ride weight.
FACTORS CONTRIBUTING:
Because you eat breakfast is incorrect or just not breakfast at all.
The second type is what makes you often hungry, snacking and eating out of control.

Other factors below you need to understand:

  1. Our bodies burn a certain number of calories each day. Calories burned by the body of each person are different. Now we consider the average woman's body can burn 1300 calories per day for short. (In a state with no sports or known as RMR or resting metabolic rate). For men, the body is able to burn higher - between 2200-2500 calories.
  2. Any food and beverages have a certain amount of calories. For instance 1 cup of Starbucks has about 600 calories. (white water calories = 0.  So willing to drink as much as anything not make fat. The myth of white water make fat is not true).
  3. Excess calories into our bodies will be automatically changed our bodies into fat in the form of food reserves.
  4. Thus if we want to lose weight, we need to consume fewer calories than you burn our bodies. Due to lack of calories needed to be taken from reserves in our body that is fat. So we will lose weight. The challenge is that we should consume foods low in calories but still meet the nutritional needs of our bodies. If we just eat less or diet with radical way our bodies actually make your metabolism is slow and the result is so difficult to lose weight.
  5. If we put calories = calories burned then our weight will be stable.
  6. If we want to go down an average of 1kg per week, we need to consume 500 calories less than the calories burned by the body daily. In the example above, the quota of calories that can be inserted into your body is 1450-500 = kira2 900 calories.

Now let’s see the following sample eating patterns :

  • Morning: 2 pieces of bread plus butter (300 calories) 1 glass of sweet tea (150 calories). Breakfast this model will lead to eating all day!
  • Morning snack 2 pieces of fried food = 150 calories.
  • Lunch (600 calories) soft drinks (200 calories).
  • Afternoon snacks drink Vanilla Latte (600 calories) muffin (300 calories).
  • Dinner (600 calories).

Well if in total what you eat 2900 calories whereas the amount your body can only burn 1400 calories. So a 1500 calorie excess calories stored by our bodies and become reserve a.k.a fat!

If you are the type of people who are overweight, it is better aware than now because there is no such thing as a healthy fat. If you are not on the ideal weight, you will increase the risk of diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and stroke. In fact, 90% of people who develop Type 2 diabetes is fat people.
