Lack of calcium in the body can lead to weight gain, which is dangerous for anyone to low-fat foods and 48 more facts about weight loss.
The amount eaten at dinner depends on the lighting
The brighter the light, the less you eat - this is the conclusion reached by German scientists. Lack of light distorts the portion size (it seems smaller) and the amount eaten is more difficult to control.
15 minutes of jumping rope equals 60 minutes of running
In biomechanics, running is a series of jumps with a relaxed phase of flight after a push. When working with a rope, the muscles of the lower leg of both legs contract at the same time and circular movements are made in the shoulder joints. This increases the load almost 4 times.
You can eat everything
The main rule of a good figure: maintaining the balance of KBZHU (calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates). For those losing weight, the balance looks like this: 50% proteins, 30% fats, 20% carbohydrates. The number of calories depends on the level of physical activity. Meals should be balanced and varied. Nutrient deficiencies can lead to health problems.
You can get better from low-fat foods
Dairy products contain vitamins A, D, E, K, but they cannot be absorbed without fat. Lipids signal satiety to the brain. If they are not in the dish, we eat much more.
To add flavor, sugar is added to low-fat foods, and these are fast carbohydrates from which you can get better.
Weight depends on the condition of the teeth
It has been proven that people with severe wear and tear on the chewing surface, diseases of the teeth and oral cavity gain weight twice as fast. Reason: digestive and metabolic disorders due to insufficient chewing of food.
Short term diets don't work
First of all, the body parts with water and only then with fat cells. Slow weight loss implies a comfortable diet without fasting or stress, making the diet easier to tolerate.
Fast weight loss negatively affects the work of the digestive tract and is fraught with food breakdowns and a set of extra pounds.
Overweight people have a normal metabolism
Overweight people spend more energy. Each movement and turn costs them several more calories. Studies have shown that the metabolism of overweight people is about the same as that of thin people.
Weight gain is a long process
Weight gain is a long process, as is weight loss. If after a piece of cake the scales showed +300 grams - this is water, not fat. Weight will return to normal in the morning. In order to gain, it is necessary to systematically disrupt the balance of KBZHU and overeat.
Aromatherapy helps you lose weight
There are aromas that send satiety signals to the brain. For example, the smell of peppermint, apples and bananas. Keep a bottle of essential oil on your desktop and periodically bring it to your nose during bouts of severe hunger. When choosing an apple or banana as a snack, try to chew it as slowly as possible to prolong the flavor.
Perfect snack - pine nuts
British scientists have found that pine nuts promote the production of cholecystokine, a hormone that sends a signal of satiety. They are superior in nutritional value to vegetables, fruits, bread and meat. Additional bonus: pine nuts contain vitamins A, B, C, D, E, tannins, fiber and carbohydrates.
Dog owners gain weight more slowly
Scientists from the University of Michigan estimate that pet owners move 34% more daily! Walking the dog is a great cardio exercise that triples your energy use.
Sweet is allowed on the diet
For most, sweetness is a reward. For this reason, they "seize" the slightest stress with sweets. Moderate consumption of sweets will not affect the figure. Prefer dark chocolate and fruit. Remember, PP baked goods and natural dried fruit sweets are no less high in calories than traditional desserts. Don't get carried away!
Calcium deficiency increases appetite
Experts from the Laval School of Medicine conducted a study: they divided women prone to obesity into two groups and offered a different diet. The menu of the first group was based on foods with a high calcium content, the second - with a low one. Result: a menu enriched with calcium helps to lose weight several times faster.
Late dinner does not affect the figure
The main rule of weight loss: energy expenditure is greater than calorie intake. The time of the last meal should be no later than 3 hours before bedtime. If you are a "night owl", a late dinner is not only acceptable, but also indicated (people with different circadian rhythms have different metabolic modes).
Prolonged diets are ineffective
Scientists from the University of California have shown that prolonged dietary intake reduces its effectiveness. To continue losing weight, you need to diversify the menu and practice regular physical activity.
