1. Saturated fats do you harm.
All the time we hear that high-fat foods are bad for your heart and your cholesterol; that butter, cheeses, steak were leading you to heart attack.
One study compiled the results of 21 studies conducted on over 350,000 people over 14 years. The result : It has nothing to do with eating fatty foods and heart disease.
2. You need to eat 5 meals a day to lose weight
It does not matter much when you eat, but what you consume! However, dinners in the late hours are never a good idea.
3. Carbohydrates make you healthy
If you eat pancakes all day and swallow endless chocolates, you will certainly gain weight. But, if you consume raw carbohydrates and without additional ingredients, you will not have weight problems.
4. Fruit juice is healthy
Calculate it like this: could you eat those 4 oranges, apples, 2 bananas, mangoes and peaches that you squeezed? Certainly not, so in moderation.
Your body reacts differently when you drink squeezed fruit, as it does not have to chew anything. The problem is not with the fruits, but with the sugar found in them (fructose).
5. Low fat foods are healthy
Reducing the amount of fat in foods means that the food is full of chemicals. Most of them are harmful to the body. For a health and weight within the norms choose the fatty option, instead of the low one.
6. Calorie counting is important
This is pure waste of time! You can eat a 500-calorie steak or chocolate with the same amount. Who is healthier for you? After all just how much you eat, not what action the food consumed has on your body.
7. Vegetable oil and seed oil are healthy
Anything over-processed is harmful. This applies to all the seed oils, vegetable oil and margarine with which you cook.
They are sold to you as a way to reduce the risk of heart disease and come as a "healthier" option, but in fact they cause problems that they claim to cure.
