| Diet, exercise and weight loss myths Again, it was brought to my attention that there are many people wrong. I'm not sure that the plethora of knowledge does not come, I want to point the finger. I have my suspicions about a variety of publications. However, be prepared for the last soapbox ranting to clarify the situation and clarify the sub-poor masses. Myth # 1. To lose fat you should eat less On the surface, this seems correct, in May, but really think about it a minute. As for losing fat, calories must be less than calories expended. But (pun intended), there are large gaps in the axiom that there are many ways to achieve this calorie imbalance. When you exercise, you burn calories. At a simple level, if you are burning more than you? Re eat, you lose the fat. Since muscle is active, and fat is an inert metabolic rate (metabolism, the speed at which you burn calories) is mainly determined by the relationship between lean body fat y. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism. So you can burn more fat, add more muscle. To add more muscle, you need to eat more. Once again, simply, you can lose fat by eating more. Myth # 2. To lose fat, you have to do a lot of Cardio Again, this seems correct. But look at it this way: When you exercise, you burn calories. Now that these calories come from the base is if you lose fat or muscle. Without going into a lot of science that l? Suppose that the body prefers fat sources of protein as fuel. The muscles are made of proteins. If not eating enough protein in your diet and get an extreme amount of cardio, the body in May in his lost muscle strength and lean body. (Just look at the sort of Olympic runners - very poor, but very little muscle, too.) Now, when you lose too much lean weight, what happens to your metabolism? Must be an episode. So what? Well, my friend fluffy, two thousand calories per day, to do to lose weight, is now home to get fat! Hmmmm? Myth # 3. To lose your belly, you have to do many Sit Ups Well, we have previously established that the exercise that burns calories. Imagine that we have nailed the nutrition plan, so that these calories come from fat stored in our body. However, when the fat is "burned" in the first place? Good question. The real answer is, if not from the first. When you do biceps curls, long and heavy, so your body uses calories for you, according to the logic above, they are burning fat. Are you burning fat in your biceps? Of course not. The body is not the case, it is to burn fat, and do an exercise for a particular area does not guarantee that the fat is burned in this region. Again, simply. After the truth, not the execution of a lot of abdominal fat burn your business? No way. Well, it may be, but not next to you. Going anywhere. There are some reasons of biology, anatomy, body types, etc. that taught that fat is the first, and how many cases, but generally goes around the world. The same logic applies to the various electronic devices to stimulate the muscles that are flooding infomercials. Adelante, dése algunos de estimulación electrónica. Can be a great way (I doubt it) to exercise and tone their abs. But this is to ensure that the Flab leave them. About the only thing guaranteed is that it spends too much. So what is the best way to get the Flab outside a certain area, and only this region of your body? Try liposuction. Myth # 4. Carbohydrates are bad for you You should know by now that almost any generalization is a lie, and subject to attack me. Our body needs carbohydrates (technically carbohydrates) to exist. They are a fuel source of choice for energy. Some carbohydrates, eaten under specific conditions (eg, white starchy carbs eaten less than three hours before sunset) can make you gain or maintain weight, but certainly not all carbohydrates are bad for you. Myth No. 5. Pasta makes you fat eating Being Italian, I must object to this. Eat pasta, in itself, does not make you fat. Excess, (something) makes you fat. Period. Myth # 6. Drinking water makes inflated food and drink to sustain Exactly when the water is swallowed has no effect. And very little water actually causes water retention. Myth # 7. Fat is bad for you See Myth # 4. The same logic applies. But apply to fat and saturated fat. Unsaturated take when there is a choice. Myth # 8. Rapid weight loss is the best way You should know better. Rapid weight loss, water usually means weight loss and lean. Losing weight of the water itself is harmless, but not permanently. It will give you all again as soon as the body re-hydrates. Losing weight, lean on the other hand, is counter-productive. As noted above, the loss of lean body mass, in turn, decreased metabolism, and we know what comes after. |
