Big FAT Diet Lies – Myths
Diet Myths
1. Cheese is Pure fat and Should Be Avoided?
True, Cheese is high in fat, but it’s also a good source of conjugated linoleic acid (An essential fatty acid which is said to reduce body fat and increase muscle tone) as well as helping to reduce PMS and lower blood pressure. Dairy Calcuim also helps cut fat in the abodmen. A good in take is about 30g a day eaten with fruit.
2. Cutting Carbs is the best way to lose weight???
The Body can’t recognise which food group you eat – it only recognises nutrients and calories. So as long as you use more calories than you eat, you will lose wieght – whether you eat carbs or not.
3. If you Diet, you don’t need to exercise?
Exercise is a vital part of dieting if you want to loose weight and stay at you ideal weight. It is said that by “simply dieting you can reduse you active muscle tissue which means you use fewer calories when yoou’re not moving – you’ll find it harder to change your weight in the future”. “people tend to underestimate just how much exercise they have to do to expand energy”. “A mars bar contains 280 calories. it would take roughly 45 minutes of vigorous activity to off that treat” So the BOTTOM LINE IS you cant just do either/or you have to do both but dieting is crucial to wieght loss but exercise is paramount if you’re to keep it off in future.
