Three Myths of Weight Loss

First of all I would like to tell you that one of the worst myths in weight loss is that you will lose weight if you skip meals. That is false. If you do that, the only thing that will happen is that you will eat more for diner and chances are you will gain weight instead of losing some. Just remember to never skip a meal. You should eat small meals instead of skipping one.

The other myth I would like to discuss is that some people think you have to exercise everyday in order to lose weight. That's false again. In fact, to maintain a healthy life and lose weight you should exercise 3 to 4 times a week for 45 minutes. This is generally enough for common people.

Some people think that you can only eat vegetables or salad on a diet to lose weight. This could not be more wrong. Salad and vegetables are good food for you but if you only eat this your motivation will go down for sure. The best thing is to eat food that you like but small sized plates. The body is a great machine that will burn just about any kind of food you eat if you don't eat too much. In other words, you can eat pizza if you want and if you're reasonable. I suggest you eat fast food on weekends and eat well all week. This way you will be more motivated to make an effort all week knowing you will enjoy your weekend.
