Myth 4: I have a lot of it, but all the fold at the expense of physical activity.

Fact: For your information: to burn off the calories contained in a small sandwich with cheese (no butter!), You need to do fizzaryadku for an hour, and to "pay" for steak and chips, will have to go 20 kilometers. Movement rather prevents buildup of weight than it helps reduce it. Although exercise is absolutely essential in the fight against excess weight, without loss of fatty foods is still not enough (specialists believe that the formula for success: reduction of fat intake to 30 percent plus good exercise). However, the majority of fighters are overweight are more "fast" way.

Myth 5: If you do the exercises, you can lose weight without any diet.

Fact: Physical activity, which can perform most of the people, lead to weight loss only if the patient while on a diet. There are scientific studies showing that improperly matched load, for example, is too intense, leading to weight gain rather than to reduce it.

Fact: This formula was proposed 100 years ago a French physician Paul Broca. Modern doctors and nutritionists to it are pretty skeptical, because it does not take into account the individual characteristics of the body, the constitution (for example, a wide bone and athletic). Closer to the truth today is considered an index - BMI, calculated by the formula: weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared. Optimal values ​​for women ranged from 19 to 24.

Myth 7: It is slim in any case, if the weight is different from the ideal.

Fact: This is not the case. From the standpoint of medicine, weight loss is recommended if there is clearly associated with the disease are overweight. Most often it is arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis and / or diabetes. Weight loss may be desirable in cases where there is every reason to fear the development of these diseases (elderly, obese).

not insist on mandatory weight loss.
