Nowadays it is very important to have the knowledge to discern what is true or false on the Internet. A much discussed topic is that of weight loss, which presents a lot of information that should always be verified. Knowledge can save many people from crazy diets and even illnesses due to unfounded advice.
The technical director of Slimming centerSylvia Ramuth, who works in the field of weight loss and body aesthetics, listed some highly publicized points that need to be clearly understood.
Eat every three hours
“You don’t need to eat every three hours to lose weight. The most important thing to lose weight is to maintain a negative energy balance, that is, consume less than you burn. This can be achieved in several ways, and meal frequency is just one of them. Some people may find it helpful to eat several small meals throughout the day to control hunger and avoid overeating, while others may prefer three larger meals. The most important thing is to find an eating pattern that works for you and is sustainable in the long term,” says Sylvia.
You have to train hard
“It is not true that you need to train very hard and regularly to lose weight. Although exercise is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and can especially help you maintain weight, the result is above all a question of balance between energy intake and expenditure, with nutrition being the main pillar of weight loss,” he says.
Whole foods are lower in calories
This is partly a myth. You need to understand that in many cases whole foods tend to be lower in calories than highly processed foods, but this is not an absolute rule.
“Whole grains are generally richer in nutrients and provide a variety of vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants essential for health,” explains the doctor.
Losing weight costs a lot of money
“Many people believe that when they follow a diet guide aimed at losing weight, they will end up spending more money on purchasing the appropriate foods for the strategy, but this is nothing more than a big myth, after all, eating real food, in addition to bringing more satiety and consequently eating less is also more convenient than many processed and ultra-processed foods on the market”, concludes the doctor.
