Every product has a caloric content, or in other words, energetic value. There are products with high, moderate or low calorie. High-calorie foods, usually contributes to weight gain, so it is trying to exclude from the daily diet. In order to maintain good physical shape, performance, smart appearance and health, you need to monitor constantly the energy value of food.
There are many high-calorie products that we are trying to eliminate from our diet to lose weight. But what are the myths about calorie content of products? Let’s try to figure it out!
Myth №1 – We know about caloric content of products everything.
In general, one of the biggest misconceptions is that vegetables and fruits lower in calories than, for example, meat products. But even among them we can find, from the constant use that a couple of extra pounds is provided. For example, olives, their average calorie intake (5-7 large berries) is comparable to a small portion of lean fish. A half avocado on calorie is comparable to a good sandwich or a pie with meat!
Grapes – it belongs to the berries, from which you an be very fat. In fact, grape contains substances that increase the appetite, so if you eat it, eating dense enough lunch or dinner, it is actually possible to gain weight. When used within reasonable limits, 5-10 berries per day, full of grapes you are not threatened. However, it does not knowingly carry to a high-fruit. Grapes contain a large number of sugars, causing increased levels of insulin in the blood. This should draw the attention of persons with diabetes or obesity.
Dried fruits and nuts are high-calorie. Although they are often positioned as a useful supplement to the cereal flakes (cereal and a variety of bars). They are certainly useful, but they do not call diet.
Many believe olive oil is less nutritious than sunflower oil or butter. Calorie content of these oils is about the same.
Myth № 2 – To eat after 18.00 strictly prohibited.
If you have a schedule for the evening (or night), you come home late, go to bed after midnight, you just need to recreate a full meal. If you are at the same time stubbornly repeat to yourself that you can not eat after 18.00 it will negatively impact not only on your figure, how much to health. After 18.00 is not recommended in the standard mode of the day, with the departure of sleep at 21.00 – 22.00, but this rule may be exceptions. It is not necessary to understand everything literally.
Myth № 3 – In order to lose weight, you need to eat foods with negative calories.
Some people believe that there are foods in the use of which calories do not accumulate, but rather spent. Proponents of these diets claim that there can be anything you want. We just need to add to your diet such foods with negative calories, and they will help keep the weight at the proper level.
This myth, of course, did not appear out of nowhere, the fact that the implementation of any process in the human body requires energy, so even in the digestion of food needed calories. Some foods have a very low calorie, that after it digesting we get to the “bottom line” is almost a pure zero. But this does not mean that consuming these products, we can with impunity eat sweets, cakes and pies.
Myth № 4 – By drinking cold water is consumed more calories, which helps to lose weight.
In fact, in the use of melt (rather cold) water body spends no more calories than when using ordinary water, at room temperature. But even if you drink about 2 liters of melt water every day, then spend no more than 70 calories, it can not compare with even a light dinner snack, during which purchased at least 200 or 300 calories.
Myth № 5 – To avoid getting fat, you should choose low-fat foods.
In fact, most often it is just a publicity stunt. And if cheese can actually be fat, it’s on the cake, cake or other goodies that we should not wait. Rather, they are not inferior to the energy value of their normal counterparts fat or to improve the taste they have added extra sugar, starch or flour substances that only increase their calorie content. In the end, it turns out that fat in the product there is little (the manufacturer does not lie – a product of low-fat!), but plenty of carbs.
In reality, the myths about calories and how to reduce it – big set. In order not to fall for another of them, carefully study the information on the package, pay attention to the composition and use common sense.
