“Eat clean and move more if you are trying to lose weight.” Isn’t this something we hear every now and then? We do follow certain tips to lose extra kilos but for many of us, these tricks and tips actually don’t work. The reason could vary from person to person but the main cause could be certain myths that surround these weight loss tips. We have listed some
weight loss myths that many of us believed in 2017 and should not follow in 2018.
We can assure you that it will be a good riddance.
Eliminate certain foods from your diet:
This happens with many of us. We think that certain types of foods might increase our weight and without consulting anyone, we eliminate them from our diet. For instance, cutting out carbs, baked goods and sugar may work for someone and may not be healthy for another person. While all these foods should be taken in moderation, getting rid of them completely from your diet may not prove healthy. This theory goes like this: Somebody who has a sweet tooth might kill his/her cravings and when they get to eat them, they might binge on these foods. Hence, you should not deprive yourself of these foods, rather eat them in limited quantity until you know a balanced diet that works for you.

This is one of the common myths that we have heard so far. As the enthusiasm for fitness has increased among many of us, we have also realized that there are healthy fats and high-fat foods. And eating healthy fats is essential for smooth functioning of our body. Healthy fats include eggs, avocados and these foods help in improving our cholesterol levels.
Skipping meals:
If you are trying to lose weight, skipping your meal will never work. By starving yourself, you will never be able to achieve an ideal weight. When you starve yourself, you also reduce your calorie intake. This affects your metabolism, and when you eat food, you tend to overeat, without even realizing. So, instead of
losing weight, you gain extra kilos. In fact, you must eat a healthy meal and also have snacks in between your meals.
