Say Big NOOOOO to these myths

Stop believing in these common Food Myths

1. Breakfast should consist of fruit only – false                                      

 Breakfast is most important meal of the day. There is a saying   "Have breakfast like a King, lunch like a common man and dinner like a beggar" Implement this saying in your daily life to achieve your fitness goal 

2. There are some magical foods that cause weight loss – false

There are many unhealthy misconceptions about weight loss. There are no magical foods or ways to combine foods that melt away excess body fat. To reduce your weight, you need to make small, achievable changes to your lifestyle. You need to change the way you eat and increase your physical activity.So do not waste your hard earned money in buying those foods.

3) Snacking Is Always a Bad Idea -false

The good news is you don't need to starve to lose weight. "The idea that you shouldn't eat between meals is a myth," but having snacks in between meals might actually help you eat less, and removes  the urge to overeat later. Dietitians often recommend that you have five smaller meals a day, instead of eating your calories all in one sitting.One of the main reasons snacking has a bad rapo is because of the choices we make from, say, vending machine that are packed with chips, cookies, candies, and other delectable -- and fattening -- treats. 

 4) Grain products such as bread, pasta, and rice are fattening. I should avoid them when trying to lose weight. -false

To lose weight, reduce the number of calories you take in and increase the amount of physical activity you do each day. Create and follow a healthy eating plan that replaces less healthy options with a mix of fruits, veggies, whole grains, protein foods, and low-fat dairy:

• Eat a mix of fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, fruits, veggies, and whole grains.

• Limit added sugars, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and saturated fat.

• Eat low-fat protein: beans, eggs, fish, lean meats, nuts, and poultry.
