There is a lot of information on weight loss on the Internet, but it is not possible to say that all of this information is correct. Let’s take a look at what are the mistakes that you need to learn the truth before going into the weight loss process.
“If I EAT TOO LITTLE, I SHALL WEAK VERY FAST.”
Like most people, you may think that you need to eat very little to lose weight. However, this notion is completely wrong. Weight loss happens when the number of calories you burn is greater than the number of calories you take in. In other words, the important thing is not to eat fewer calories by eating less, but to burn more calories than you take. Let’s reinforce this knowledge with a small example.
Ayşe consumes 1500 calories of food a day and exercises enough to burn 700 calories. In other words, the amount of calories that will remain in your body and turn into fat is 800 units.
Ali consumes 2000 calories of food a day and exercises enough to burn 2500 calories. Ali’s body does not have any extra calories, and 500 calories are spent.
- Although Ali eats more, he loses weight because he can balance with the calories he spends, while Ayşe cannot lose weight because he cannot spend enough calories despite eating less.
So it is not right to think that eating less will make you weak.
“I CAN CONSUMPT UNLIMITED FOOD FOODS.”
Those who want to lose weight think that they can consume unlimited low-calorie vegetables and fruits, but this is completely wrong! Even if the food you consume is extremely beneficial, it can cause health problems when consumed uncontrollably. Therefore, we recommend that you consume adequate amounts of each food and avoid excess.
“I CAN LOSE WEIGHT BY DRINKING HERBAL TEA.”
Some herbal teas are known to support fat burning by accelerating metabolism. However, no tea or supplement will make you lose weight alone.
“I CAN LOSE WEAKNESS BY IMPLEMENTING DIETS I FIND ON THE INTERNET.”
There is no one who has not heard of ready-made diet lists on the Internet. If you are thinking of applying one of these diets, which have spread rapidly recently, let us warn you: Diet lists can only be prepared individually. If the diet lists you see on the internet and plan to apply are not suitable for your body, you may encounter different health problems.
Although the process of losing weight may seem easy, it is a process that should be treated very sensitively. Therefore, do not forget to consult your doctor or dietitian!
