I Thought it TOO! - Weight Loss Myths to Watch Out For

Part of the problem with dieting and weight loss is that the dieter has a major uphill struggle on their hands and this is a battle that is not made any easier thanks to the well-intended, but ultimately counterproductive, interference of so called "experts".
With such bizarre and inaccurate information around this means that many dieters end up lured into a false sense of security in some regards, and into a heightened state for others.
Therefore, in the interests of ensuring that an optimal result is achieved for the dieter, let us consider some of these myths.
Nuts are bad! Nuts are bad in what way? If you mean that they have a high fat and calorie content then yes, that is totally true.
However, the fats that they contain are actually essential fats which are required by the body for healthy being.
In addition, nuts are also an excellent source of fibre, protein as well as energy and so when consumed sparingly, they can be very beneficial for people.
Dairy products are very fatty and so are bad for weight loss.
Actually, given that dairy products such as milk, cheese, cream and yogurt contain calcium, an essential nutrient for the maintenance of strong healthy bones and which also helps increase the rate of the metabolism, this myth is totally wrong.
Indeed, given that overweight people are at an increased risk of developing osteoarthritis as a result of the increased strain on their joints, calcium should be an essential nutrient in their diet.
Vegetarians are guaranteed to stay slim There is a grain of truth in this belief, however, there is a fine line between the truth and the myth and so to the novice, the distinction may not always be readily apparent.
There is every possibility that a vegetarian can put on excess weight, by virtue of them eating foods that have too high a content, or gorging themselves on junk food.
Eating lots of protein is good.
Protein IS an essential nutrient for anyone, and is used to create and repair muscle tissue.
In addition, it is used to create new enzymes which are used to achieve the various biological functions in the body.
However, excess protein consumption can be dangerous to the overall well being of the dieter, and can result in renal (kidney) failure.
Make sure you educate yourself as to the requirements for your diet.
