Fact: This is actually two different things. The fact that the blockage of channels cellulite occurs when the hormonal levels, as well as in violation of water-salt metabolism in women. This can happen even when you decide to actively lose weight, and sat on a diet. So do not think that is actively shedding the weight, you can get rid of cellulite.

Myths about weight loss and sports - Part 2




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.


Myth 6: The ideal weight - is the growth of minus 110.

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).
If a person is young, healthy, has a slight excess of the weight that suits him, the doctors may 
not insist on mandatory weight loss.

necessary. All that is rapidly disappearing from the sides, has a habit of appearing just as
quickly. Yes, and with the addition!

Myth 2: The greater the number of pounds can be reset in less time, the better.

Fact: If a person drops more than 3 kg per month, then, along with the fat, he loses a lot of
non-fat tissue is unacceptable, such as muscle. The exception is the first month of the diet when weight loss is due to removal of excess water may be somewhat greater. Talk about the
effectiveness of the method of weight loss is meaningless without taking into account its
portability and security.
