Myths From Weight Loss
By Dale Mazurek

In today’s world we are so full of diets, weight loss programs and everything you can think of to lose weight. Along with all this comes a number of myths. The myths are what I would like to enlighten you about in this article.

1. Everything Will Be Fine With A High Protein/Low Carb Diet

The hardest part on this diet is that many of the favorite foods are forbidden. It focuses on protein foods to get the required amount of calories needed. Another problem is the lack of nutrients brought on by carbohydrate foods. It allows the users to eat such foods as bacon and cheese which goes a far way to increasing cholesterol levels. These diets do result in rapid weight loss but it’s not just fat that people are losing. They tend to lose lean muscle mass and water. Thus kidneys work harder to rid the body of excess waste from protein and fat. Because of this the added stress to your kidneys is not healthy. It can result in dehydration, headaches, nausea and dizziness. So in the long run a balanced diet would probably be better for losing weight with out hurting your body.

2. Fad Diets Can Result In Permanent Weight Loss

In all honesty this doesn’t work well either. Any diets that tell you to cut this or that food out of your diet isn’t a good one. The main part of any diet is to supply the body with the calories, proteins and minerals that it needs. Fad diets fail on the promise of permanent weight loss because people will always crave the forbidden foods and then they end up breaking the rules and giving up on the diet. The major key to weight loss is more exercise and avoid eating the foods that make you fat which means a well balanced diet.

3. Is Low Fat Or No Fat A Good Choice

There is only one low fat food that is low in calories and that is fruit. The rest of the so called low-fat or non-fat groups really aren’t all that safe in diets. These products usually have added sugar, starch or flour for greater taste. This means more calories. So when buying low-fat make sure you check the ingredients.

4. Vegetarian Food Will Help You Lose Weight And Stay Healthy

You have to make sure your food plan works to take charge of your eating and make sure everything you eat is the right kind of food. Vegetarian diets are all right as long as this diet gives your body the nutrients and calories that it needs. Just filling your stomach isn’t what’s needed. There are certain vegetables that can work but you will really have to do your homework to make sure you get what you need. It is a lot harder from just plants.

5. Dairy Products Make You Fat And Cause Heart Problems

Modern medicine tells us that high amounts of dairy products is a guaranteed path to high blood pressure and stroke. However you do need dairy products. They are the main source of calcium that keeps our bones strong and healthy and an absolute must in children. Vitamin D is also very important to your diet. Weight loss is inevitable with dairy products but there are ways to help with weight control. You can use low fat dairy or even non fat dairy products. Butter and margarine are the two biggest culprits because they contain huge amounts of fat. But if you have to use one or the other than butter is definitely your best choice.
