Diet myths: the more protein in your food, the better it is

Destroying myths about proper nutrition.

We continue to destroy annoying myths! Your body is worthy of respectful treatment, and your body – the right work on it. So remember that not every piece of advice you find online is good for you. Remember that everything should be approached wisely. That’s why we help you sort through the myths you’ve probably heard before.

Myth – “More protein.”

There is a belief that the predominance of protein in food, that is, the violation of the protein-fat-carbohydrates system, leads to fat burning. Well, that’s not true! Carbohydrates are the building material for muscle. Perhaps a protein diet will help you lose a few pounds, but half of that weight will come from muscle and water. Not fat, as originally planned.

And then what?

Then the weight will come back on. And unfortunately, not with water and muscle, but with fat, which we have worked so hard to get rid of.

You can never break the system of proteins-fats-carbohydrates?

Protein bias is possible only in one case – it is “drying”. It should be used sporadically and with a clear understanding of the reasons and goals. Otherwise, “drying” will cause a lot of trouble in the future.

All facts are taken from the book “Proper Nutrition for the Training Process” by the author of the popular Internet project “Crazy Drying” Vasily Smolny.
