There are many myths around losing weight.
We will talk about the main ones.
Do Diets Really Work
According to numerous studies, dieting does not lead to long-term weight loss for most people.
Statistics show that almost all people who lose weight through diets experience weight regain, but 2 or more times more.
Why diets are not effective and do not work
Diets don't work because they rely on calorie restriction. This leads to a slowdown in metabolism and a decrease in the hormone that is responsible for a person’s feeling of fullness.
Therefore, during or after dieting, a person not only feels hungrier, but also is also less likely to feel full or satisfied with what he eats.
Therefore, due to constant malnutrition, breakdowns and overeating can often occur.
Research also shows that dieters gain weight regardless of whether they follow their diet or exercise program.
Diets also harm a person's mental health.
A lack of calories and food variety can lead to a lack of essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
Sleep, cognitive functions, productivity are disrupted, irritability and chronic fatigue appear.
