Nutritionists break weight loss myths with 5 tips to help you lose weight successfully and stop being fat

This article is excerpted from a creative enterprise lecture: New Nutrition Food Generation nutritionist Zheng Shijia shares 5 "weight loss myths" that netizens are most likely to fall into, and calls on men and women who want to lose weight not to always believe in online rumors. Let the experts answer for you below:

Weight loss myth 1: Will you lose weight if you skip breakfast?

Nutritionist Zheng said that skipping breakfast can easily lower blood sugar levels and affect mood. Everyone thinks that eating one meal less will reduce calories, but they often eat more at lunch. Moreover, skipping breakfast for a long time can easily cause gallstones. In short, "a day's plan begins in the morning". Eating the right breakfast can keep you energetic all day long.

Weight loss myth 2/Can you lose weight by not eating after noon?

"Not eating after noon" is a lazy way to lose weight. All food is concentrated before noon. Although it is a disguised low-calorie diet, insufficient calories and food raw materials can easily lead to muscle tissue decomposition and a decrease in basal metabolic rate. In this way, when you return to the original amount of food or accidentally overeat one day, it is easy to produce a yo-yo effect, and the weight will be gone forever~

Weight loss myth 3/Overly pursuing a single food weight loss method?

Nutritionist Zheng said that recently people often ask whether "eating bananas before dinner" can really help lose weight? She explained that bananas are indeed rich in dietary fiber and resistant starch, but the problem that people tend to overlook is that they think eating only one food can increase satiety and achieve weight loss effects, but is your appetite really under control?

Too many people are obsessed with a single diet, which creates a placebo effect in their minds. Instead, they do not pay attention to a balanced diet and eat and drink without restraints. Once your diet becomes single, the nutrients your body needs are insufficient, leading to hidden hunger. So remember, be loyal in love, but be fickle in diet!

Weight loss myth 4: Always holding the computer and frantically counting calories?

She said that to lose weight, don’t be obsessed with “how many calories you eat”. Otherwise, if you only count calories, it won’t be more helpful for losing weight when you eat junk food with the same calories as healthy food! Therefore, nutritionists recommend that the most basic principle is to eat a balanced diet of the six major food groups, eat at fixed times, follow the correct order of meals (soup → vegetables → meat → rice), and adjust your lifestyle habits.

Weight loss myth 5/Does losing weight really make you thinner?

Many people really only want to lose "weight", but actually losing "fat" is the key! Nutritionist Zheng said that what you really need to reduce to lose weight is fat, not muscle and water. This is the most difficult challenge. If you can reduce the fat, a size L can become a size S!

For those who want to lose weight, nutritionists provide 5 tips to avoid traps:

1. Eat three meals at regular times and in regular amounts, eat enough for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

2. Eat a balanced diet and don’t be obsessed with a single food.

3. Eat the right food and don’t worry about calories.

4. Being lazy and indulging yourself in food without restraint, only one day a week.

5. Drink enough water, 2000cc, to protect the environment and remove waste from the body.
