Today's Health

Although the peak of summer dieting has passed, many people consider every day to be a dieting day. For those who are truly serious about dieting, even trivial information cannot be overlooked. They listen carefully to rumors like "I lost weight doing this" or "You won't lose weight doing that." While there is no shortcut to losing weight, there's no need to believe all these dieting myths. Although they are often regarded as facts, we will learn about four common dieting myths that are not necessary to follow, based on information recorded by professional media.

1. Is it true that eating breakfast helps you lose weight?… We need to start by clarifying that breakfast is important for weight management. For some people, this is true. This statement actually originates from a study involving members of the U.S. National Weight Management Registry who had lost weight for at least five years and reported eating breakfast regularly. However, breakfast does not help everyone lose weight. In fact, whether you eat or skip breakfast has little impact on your weight. A study showed that people who skipped breakfast ate 144 calories more at lunch compared to those who ate breakfast, but their total daily intake was 408 calories lower than others.

Of course, skipping breakfast can be a form of intermittent fasting that may help with weight loss. However, there is no reason to eat breakfast if you're not hungry. If you do eat breakfast, make sure to include foods rich in protein to avoid overeating at lunch.

 

2. If you lose weight quickly, will you experience a rebound? = Let's examine the fact that rapid weight loss can lead to a 'yo-yo' effect a bit more closely. While gradually reducing weight is a good approach, rapid weight loss does not necessarily increase the risk of the yo-yo phenomenon. In fact, losing weight quickly can sometimes aid in long-term weight management.

People who lost weight quickly in the first month were five times more likely to lose 10% of their weight within 18 months compared to those who lost weight slowly. However, if calories are reduced to an extreme degree, it may lead to rapid initial weight loss, but it is difficult to sustain. It is better to find a healthy weight loss method rather than extreme calorie restriction.

 

3. Do you need to do aerobic exercise to lose weight? = It is also known that aerobic exercise is more helpful for weight loss. Also called cardiovascular exercise, aerobic exercise helps reduce stress levels and is beneficial for heart and overall health. However, contrary to what many people think, it is not the best exercise strategy for losing weight.

While aerobic exercise can help maintain weight, there is also a risk of weight gain rather than loss. The effect of aerobic exercise on weight varies from person to person, so the best strategy is to combine strength training with aerobic exercise.

 

4. Should all fats be avoided? = Not all fats are bad for health, and avoiding greasy foods does not necessarily help with weight loss. Fats have twice the calories of proteins or carbohydrates and take longer to digest. Limiting fat intake may reduce calorie consumption, leading to weight loss.

Research has shown that a standard low-fat diet, in which fat constitutes less than 30% of total calories, has little effect on weight loss. This is in contrast to low-carbohydrate diets or other dietary approaches that show significant results. Foods rich in natural fats, such as avocados, nuts, and coconuts, can aid in weight loss. Of course, artificially adding a lot of fat to foods should be avoided, as it increases calorie intake and makes losing weight more difficult.

 

 

==================

 

If you're not hungry, don't bother having breakfast.

That's the first time I've heard that.

So, is that why things like brunch and brunches came about?

 

There are bad fats and good fats for the body~~

And eating too much good fat is also not good.

It's terrible.
