Weight loss myths and facts

At the beginning of this book I want to say that failures that people encounter trying to lose weight are largely due to the huge amount of myths in society. What do I mean? To understand this, select from the list below the products that lead to obesity and therefore are unsuitable for a diet designed to reset the body fat: rice, meat, buckwheat, honey, muesli, eggs ... and this would probably be enough. Unfortunately, I know your answer (at least most of you). I am sure that without a doubt you have excluded from the list: meat and eggs, recognizing buckwheat, rice, honey, indispensable in the diet. This is absolutely not true. Eating such foods as rice, buckwheat or for God's sake cereals (and in fact many are really satisfied with such a diet) you just grow fat (below I will explain why). Unfortunately, when you talk to people, they often refuse to believe. The tragedy lies in the fact that the majority does not even have basic knowledge in physiology, and they respectively, make false conclusions, but more often they are confused by advertising and the media. The same thing about muesli where some smart guy dares to claim that they contribute to slimming! You won't be able to lose weight , because cereals contain high amounts of carbohydrates with a high glycemic index, this also applies to rice . In fact, cereal is just some kind of crap filled with sugar , which can easily add you, dear reader fatty growths on the sides and on your ass. On the other hand still in the 60's. the last century, many bodybuilders were burning huge amounts of fat consuming only meat and water. This is an extreme method , but it clearly shows that consumption of meat contrary to popular opinion, does not lead to obesity.

Vegetarianism - another superstition. The question about how consumption of meat harms the body is only a myth. This myth successfully is used by sellers of soybean, that had made a brilliant advertising to this product . On the other hand I admire these guys - before soy protein had been used as a fertilizer for pigs, but now they make from it soy milk, sausages, burgers, etc., which are sold at a price exceeding the cost of the original product. The fact that the raw materials for their production (soybeans), in relation to meat are very cheap, so the idea is to make people believe that soy can substitute meat products, with such an idea could come up only a genius of advertising. They say that, scientists have found that soy contains large amounts of protein. This is nonsense! Indeed soybeans contains protein, but it is very poorly absorbed. In addition, soy contains large amounts of carbohydrates, and they (this will be explained later) primarily contribute to weight gain. Pure vegetarian diet does more harm than good, and is acceptable only for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Perhaps, they will be able to get the desired set of amino acids from proteins of plant origin, but people who practice sport (should

not expect to get rid of fat without any physical activity) or have a job related to physical labor (constructions for example),need proteins of animal origin. So, further , when I say protein, I mean just products of animal origin

Vitamins. After the topic of vegetarianism another myth is related to vitamins. What is the reason that many people believe that vitamins are found only in fruits and vegetables. Vitamins are different, some of them are contained in foods of plant origin, others - in food of animal origin. In order to dispel "the myth of vitamins I will give you the following example: In vitamin C, (which became the collective image of all vegetables and fruits),is very rich such a product as liver.

Training.In this area, exist an incredible amount of prejudices, in particular one of them is the that in order to lose weight one needs to exercise every day, for several hours. So, this is not just a myth, it is nonsense! Or another myth is that weight training (bodybuilding), which is an integral part of my program, leads to impotence. This is even more delirious than the daily training, as muscle growth is largely determined by the quantity of male sex hormones in the body, in simple terms if weight training would contribute to stoping their secretion (production), muscles would not be able to grow. Impotence occurs only because of the large usage of anabolic steroids (i.e., synthetic male sex hormones), and only after prolonged usage in immoderate doses; but bodybuilding only stimulates male sex hormones in the body. Nevertheless, there is no need for women to fear weight training, assuming that it will make them look like a man. This is just another myth, and those manlike creatures that we can see competing in women's bodybuilding, "grow" only with the help of anabolic steroids. Remember, dear woman, your body does not allow itself to be remade.

Another myth - you need to lose not more than 2-3 kg a month. This seems to be an adequate
opinion, but it is based on the doctors statements. For someone who has a small problem with
body fat (5 - 10 kg.) This rate of weight loss is really optimal.. In the first place, it does not
bring discomfort, as there is no need for serious dietary restrictions. But most importantly no loss
of muscle mass (remember that your goal is not to lose weight in general, but to burn FAT
without losing muscle. But the man who had 40, 60, 80 or, 100 extra pounds (as I had, and I got
rid of them in a year), the opinion of losing such a pathetic amount of weight is just
discouraging.                                                                     .

What I find most annoying, is that people believe in some magical pill or potion that will make them slim and will help lose weight. Remember, no pill will make your body beautiful and strong if you just lie on the couch (lying on the couch is also a part of my program, and it is very important! Yes, this is not a joke.). Of course, there are special dietary supplements (more on that later) to facilitate the struggle for a fit and strong body.

Massage. Again, this procedure does not contribute to weight loss. This applies to manual massage and the so-called Muscle Stimulation, which I am sure you have seen being advertised many times on TV.

At the end of the introduction, I want to give you another tip. If someone promises you a magic product for "cleansing" the body and adjusting it to "work correctly, and so on , there is a probability of 99.9% that this is    another crook trying to sell    you a useless drug.
