Tips for effective weight loss on social networks do not always work as they should in practice. Sometimes popular life hacks can backfire. ETNT has listed some popular weight loss tips that can make you gain weight.
Intermittent fasting. Often, intermittent fasting is presented as an ideal way to lose weight: you don’t limit yourself in any products, just don’t eat at certain hours. Moreover, this method can really help someone lose weight. Any effective way to lose weight must lead to a calorie deficit, and intermittent fasting can help you eat less.
The catch is that skipping meals can cause some people to overeat later, and then there will be no deficit, and no result. In addition, due to the feeling of hunger, you may not have enough energy for training.
PP-sweets and an apple instead of a cutlet. In an attempt to make your diet “cleaner” you can try replacing all the candy with dried fruit. Moreover, you can even try to trick your stomach and eat fruit instead of a burger. However, there is a high risk that after such a replacement, you will only want forbidden delicacies more, and then you will also overeat them. Therefore, if you really want to eat a chocolate bar, do it and just enter it into your calorie intake. It’s better than breaking loose later and eating a few of these chocolates.
Veganism. Many people become vegan for ideological reasons, but some people want to get healthier and lose weight this way. In any case, it is important to remember: you can’t just thoughtlessly refuse animal products, you need to correctly plan your new diet. For weight loss, you need protein – it is he who gives a lasting feeling of satiety. Otherwise, there is a risk of constantly snacking on “fast” carbohydrates, which can lead to weight gain. Therefore, if you have given up meat, pay attention to lentils, beans, tofu, nuts, chia seeds.
Vegetable dishes in restaurants. When you go out for lunch or dinner at a cafe, you may think that the best option for you is a vegetable salad or stew. Vegetables are low-calorie, which means they are safe for your figure – you can eat as much as you like. The calorie content of vegetables can increase significantly depending on the method of preparation. For example, the same eggplants can absorb a lot of oil during frying, and this increases the nutritional value of the product. This does not mean that vegetables cannot be eaten. Just remember that you can get fat from the “right” food if you eat too much.
Rejection of carbohydrates. Many people who lose weight consider carbohydrates to be an absolute evil, something that needs to be excluded from their diet. However, it is carbohydrate-rich foods that give us energy. A carbohydrate-free diet is doomed to failure, and even fraught with serious health problems.
