The five myths and truths about weight loss
Does intermittent fasting help you lose weight?
REAL
This practice is used by bodybuilders and aids in weight loss by increasing fat oxidation and inducing physiological adaptations conducive to weight loss.
“An example we can give is an increase in adrenaline and GH hormones. This does not necessarily mean more fat loss, but it is a determining factor in obtaining good long-term results. Understand which fasting period is right for you body and routine,” says Dr. Paula.
Does counting calories mean following an effective diet?
Myth
We need to think about how to keep all other levels in balance as the body tries to burn energy and fat. For example: the volume of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and micronutrients (minerals and vitamins),” says the practitioner.
Does sleep contribute to weight gain or loss?
REAL
There is a regulation of some hormones in sleep and a deprivation leads to an increase in levels of ghrelin, a hormone associated with the desire to eat and the reduction of leptin, which favors satiety.
“In addition to these factors, those who sleep less have more hours in which they can eat and less willingness to practice physical activity”, he guarantees.
Do alcoholic beverages interfere with weight loss?
REAL
“If we think first of all about calorie consumption, alcohol supplies 7 Kcal per gram. Considering a beer with 4.5% alcohol, in a volume of 350 ml, we would have 15.7 g of pure alcohol, i.e. 110.25 Kcal – not to mention the other components present in the product and which increase the amount of calories even more”, he comments.
Depression and anxiety affect weight
REAL
“Thinking about weight loss, this happens for several reasons. If we think behaviorally, people with depression and anxiety tend to eat more and more caloric foods, as a way to acquire comfort, or pleasure, the famous ‘comfort food’. Another reason can be associated with hormonal disorders or the administration of drugs, which can have adverse effects, such as an increase or decrease in appetite,” concludes Dr. Paula Peres.
