Top 10 Stupidest Diet Tips
It depends on what foods you're eating. For example, trashy things like cookies and burgers will make you fat, but healthy fats like those in nuts, avocados, and salmon are very beneficial and can strengthen your heart!
While limiting excess fat is a good idea, cutting fat too low is really stupid. Fat makes food satiating, so you feel full for longer.
There's a lot of food that includes healthy fat.
This has got to be the worst tip that way too many people follow. Cutting calories too much makes you feel hungry all the time and causes your body to go into starvation mode. Your body will shed a lot more muscle mass to try to lower its metabolism. Weight loss needs to slow down to be successful in the long term.
What the freak? You need calories! Without them, your body acts like it's going to starve, and your metabolism uses fewer calories to conserve energy. Calories are about health, just not too much. It depends on your height, sex/gender, weight, and growth. So, eat a healthy amount of calories!
Never do this! This is dangerous to your health. Carbs in processed trash can make you overweight, but healthy carbs in vegetables and whole wheat items are beneficial. Carbohydrates are one of the three macronutrients, and complex carbs are good.
Who cares? Gluten-free isn't necessarily healthy! Gluten is a type of protein that is actually healthy. If you have celiac disease, skip gluten. It's basically an allergic reaction to gluten.
It depends on the snack. If it's nutritious, it won't make you fat. If it's a bad snack like cookies, it will make you fat!
Don't think in terms of weight but of health. Of course, you can snack! Just consider what you should eat to stay healthy and happy. I'd never give up the little pleasures of life for a diet. Don't do a diet. Just eat healthy and walk at least. Walk stairs to work your buns.
For me, my snacks are usually healthy, like fruit and yogurt. Sometimes, I treat myself with cookies.
The fats in milk are healthy. I hate it when I am fed low-fat milk because people think it's healthy. I am sick of it! The fats in milk are beneficial, help you feel full, and contain vitamins that are removed when the fat is taken out. It's proven that whole milk drinkers are less likely to gain excess weight compared to skim milk drinkers!
Believe it or not, the reason skim milk has no fat is that they add ridiculous amounts of sugar to improve its taste. If you're going to drink milk, choose almond or cashew milk instead of dairy.
That's very damn crazy! Sugar is healthy to eat in moderation. People need some sugar. Without it, we would, well, you know, die!
Sodium can be bad, but never eliminate it completely. Without enough sodium, muscle spasms and cramps, vomiting, weakness, and even death can occur. Eat a good amount of salt each day to stay healthy!
You need to do one damn thing: check the ingredients to see if they're healthy. Some unhealthy things are considered natural!
Poison ivy is natural. Snack on that, I dare you.
While you shouldn't eat saturated fat in excess, it definitely isn't as bad as it's been made out to be. Sugars and trans fats are far more harmful to your health.
