10 common fat loss misconceptions that most people are still convinced

 In today's era of extraordinarily developed network information, many partners will go online to find and use a variety of popular weight loss and slimming methods. But many times the effort to adhere to, sweat, but in return is a disappointing, frustrating result.

That's because some of the most popular and popular fat loss methods and techniques on the Internet are sometimes not entirely scientific and reasonable; therefore, we will give you a crack at the 10 most common fat loss misconceptions that many of our partners may be convinced of!

01
Must follow a low-carb diet

I have to say, control carbohydrate intake, indeed, in the short term, so that the small partners crazy drop the scale. But most of it is water that is excreted from the body, and only a small portion is really fat. Moreover, long-term low-carb diets often lead to significant energy loss, emotional anxiety, and other symptoms, and thus are more likely to give up midway.

The key point is that a low-carb diet is not the only way to lose fat; ultimately, it is necessary to ensure that caloric intake is less than consumption, and to control and proportion all types of nutrients in a balanced manner to lose fat efficiently in the long term!

02
No eating after 6pm

Famous nutritionist Adelle Davis (Adelle Davis) once said: "Breakfast eat like a king as rich, lunch eats like a prince as fine, dinner should eat like a beggar." Because of this statement, many people are still more than "after 6 p.m., must fast" this fat loss rule is convinced.

But in fact, as long as the daily caloric intake is reasonable, when to eat does not affect the effect of fat loss. So instead of stopping eating completely after 6pm and letting yourself go to bed hungry, you may want to develop a good habit of recording your daily diet and calorie intake, and make sure you exercise regularly so that you consume more than you take in, so you can slim down more easily and happily!

03
Must follow the "eat less, eat more" principle

As we mentioned before, calorie intake is reasonable, less than consumption is the cornerstone of efficient fat loss, so in the fat loss period, whether to follow the principle of "eat less, eat more", the partners can choose according to their own situation flexible!

But be sure to pay attention to, each time you eat a good record of calories, otherwise less food more meals may play a counterproductive effect. On top of that, be careful to avoid a lot of snacks, mainly natural low-calorie foods, and try to schedule higher-calorie meals and larger portions during the day!

04
The longer you work out, the better the results

The length of time you work out has almost nothing to do with the final fat loss effect! Some people spend 3-4 hours a day in the gym, but end up with little results; while others may only exercise 30 minutes a day, but efficiently slim down! The reason is from the intensity and quality of training.

Therefore, ensure that in the daily training, to find their own, effective training program, such as for fat loss, high-intensity interval cardio training is a very good choice! And then quality and quantity to complete the training, and never in the gym to mix time, to let you really say goodbye to fat!

05
Within 30 minutes after training, you must eat

Usually, the 30 minutes after fitness training is called "synthetic window" (Anabolic Window), many partners are convinced that eating in this time period, can make the training effect doubled, play an extra positive effect on fat loss and slimming.

But in reality, authoritative nutrition and exercise scientists have yet to confirm this theory. Therefore, instead of pinning your hopes on the nebulous "synthetic window", you may want to focus on regular exercise and a balanced diet.

06
Fat is the culprit of the obesity problem

Compared with protein, carbohydrates per gram contains 4 calories, fat calories are more than 2 times their calories, each gram has 9 calories. But this really makes fat become the so-called "fat culprit"? 

In fact, what makes people fat is excess nutrition and calories, not fat. During the fat loss period, you don't need to treat fat like an enemy and avoid it completely. In moderation, make sure that about 30% of your daily calorie intake comes from foods rich in good fats, such as dairy products, meat, olive oil, dark chocolate, etc. Ultimately, a reasonable daily calorie intake with an even ratio of fat, carbohydrates, and protein will make it easy and efficient to lose weight and is best for overall health!

07
"Mid-life fatigue" can not be avoided

When people reach middle age, they will get fat; the older they get, the more likely they are to get fat ...... These statements have made some of our partners deeply concerned about their future figures. But in fact, as long as you can start from a young age, you will develop good habits to adhere to exercise, reasonable diet, even at the age of 50, or even 70, you can still maintain the same proportional health and vitality of the 20-year-old state.

Ultimately, it is the diet and lifestyle habits that determine your figure, not your age!

08
Only muscle soreness means that the training is effective

Too many partners mistakenly believe that only in the gym to train themselves to exhaustion, the next day can not even get out of bed, the effect is considered in place. In fact, such soreness is the natural reaction of the muscles when they are fresh or strongly stimulated, and it has almost nothing to do with whether the training is effective or not!

Therefore, you should not because the muscle does not feel sore, and desperately increase the training volume and intensity, to "destroy" self! As long as you adhere to a regular, moderate amount of exercise, even if there is no soreness, you can certainly see the positive, excellent fat loss effect!

09
Static stretching before training

Many partners have long believed that stretching must be done before training to prepare the muscles for high-intensity training. But in fact, we often do in a movement to hold 30 seconds - 1 minute, stretching muscle way called static stretching, it is often easy to make the muscle too relaxed stretch, thus affecting the quality of training, more suitable for after training, rather than before training!

And if you want to fully warm-up before training, you may want to practice some simple dynamic training movements, do not make the mistake of static stretching Oh!

10
Use intermittent fasting, you can enjoy the food

Intermittent fasting, especially the 16-8 fasting method, is quite popular with the majority of fat loss people. Mainly through the 16 hours of fasting, the way to eat in 8 hours, in a certain degree to control calorie intake, to achieve fat loss effect! But if you think you can eat and drink as much as you want during the feeding period, and enjoy all kinds of fried chicken and milk tea and other "junk food", you are very wrong!

If you want to achieve efficient and significant fat loss, when eating, you must choose natural, high-quality food sources as much as possible, and ensure that the overall caloric intake is less than consumption. On this basis, fasting can play a role in controlling the lowering of insulin levels, so that you can achieve the fat loss effect with half the effort!
