In my last post I exposed that diet, light and no-fat products will not make you skinny, that is a myth. Today I am going to share with you another common nutrition and weight loss myth and that is:
Simply Eating a Low-Calorie Diet Will Help Drop the Pounds
FALSE: It’s true that your body needs a certain amount of calories to survive and eating too many calories can lead to weight gain, but what’s so much more important than how many calories is where those calories come from. All calories are not created equal. A 200-calorie jelly donut supplies you with refined flour, sugar, and altered fats, which must be burned as energy or stored as fat. Eating 200 calories of almonds, on the other hand, supplies you with good fats for your brain, good protein for muscles, and good carbs for energy, plus vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and fiber. Your body has way too many good purposes for all that almonds provide to store them as excess. Be mindful of where your calories come from, eat until you are 70% – 80% full, and then eat again in a few hours.
Stay tuned for Weight Loss Myth #7, coming up in a couple of days!
