Myths about diets. Why the principle “you should eat less” will not help you?

Why the principle of calorie deficit does not always work?

We continue to destroy the most popular stereotypes about diets. In previous materials, we talked about the overabundance of protein in the diet and why fasting is not always an effective way to get in shape.

Today we have come to the third myth, which is probably the most widespread. All thinners are so accustomed to it that it will be difficult to refuse this “indisputable” statement. But believe me, it is much more difficult to constantly adhere to this rule.

Myth #3 – “to lose weight, you need to eat less”.

So said the famous Philip Kirkorov in one of his interviews. His answer to the question of how to keep yourself in shape, many took it as a guide to action. However, we are ready to challenge this advice! It is important not the amount of food consumed, but its caloric content. Do not forget that calories are the energy our body needs, but their excess can be deposited in fat.

In the West, a popular style of eating called Flexible Dieting. Its meaning is to keep a daily calorie allowance while eating any food. It was assumed that a person can afford a little sweet or flour.

In fact, people start eating fast food and chocolate, justifying it by observing the calorie limit. At the same time, they forget that this norm consists almost entirely of fat and light carbohydrates. It certainly does not promote the path to a healthy and beautiful body.

The bottom line is this: the calorie norm must be observed if you do not want to gain weight. Whether that weight will be flabby fat or firm muscle depends on the quality of the food you eat and your physical activity.
