5 Fitness Myths Debunked : 4) YOU HAVE TO EAT LESS TO LOSE WEIGHT

4) YOU HAVE TO EAT LESS TO LOSE WEIGHT :

If your weight loss plan involves eating the same way you are now, then lowering portion sizes will help - but it's a flawed plan of action that more often than not gets you right back where you started. You may lose a little weight and appear to be thinner... but how's your overall health? Diet isn't just about keeping weight off, it's also about disease prevention. Does the inside of your body resemble something that Oscar the Grouch would happily move into?



With the right eating plan, you would likely find yourself eating more than you normally do! There's a couple of key points here. ONE is that you should eat 5 to 6 times a day - every three hours or so (3 meals with snacks in between). This keeps blood sugar levels more stable and prevents your body from going into starvation mode, causing metabolism to slow down, so fuel (aka calories) isn't burned as efficiently. TWO, processed, high sugar foods actually cause your body (for several hours after consumption) to cease using fat as fuel and use protein from the muscles instead, while any extra sugar that couldn't be cleared from your blood gets stored as fat. More fat and less muscle? What a lousy deal! Think about that next time you reach for a Mae West instead of an apple. THREE, is that diets low in processed foods and high in nutrient dense fruits, vegetables, fish, lean meats and poultry will lead to weight loss without even having to count calories AND you'll have all the stuff you need to keep the doctor away. By eating 5 to 6 proper meals a day, you'll always be giving your body exactly what it needs to function at an optimal level without anything leftover that can get stored as fat. So it's not about quantity as much as it's about quality.
