Good Lifestyle

Are you thinking about getting diet again? Then avoid many of those tendencies that promise instantaneous results by means of novel methods. If it sounds too easy, it is most likely that it is the wrong form of losing weight. Most rapid solution diets are harmful and cause short, medium and long-term health problems. In addition, it is most likely that you end up recovering the lost weight. Avoid committing this common mistake!

We present you six dangerous diets in which you should not trust:

Negative calories

It turns out that celery, lettuce, green leaves and other low calorie fruits and vegetables are called food with "negative calories", and some have spread the fallacy that will help you lose weight with just eating them. The body really burns calories if you only eat these foods, but the body also burns calories while you sleep, and all these lost calories can be reflected in your energy and health. Eat vegetables and fruits because they are healthy for you, not because they are "negative calorie" foods. If you choose dishes that contain fiber, nutrients and are low in sugar (and that you also have the plus to be integral), those qualities will be excellent for your health and to reduce weight at the same time.

Intermittent fasting

The intermittent fasting has become an almost spiritual trend. It has been affirmed that practicing it is healthy for our brain and even the key to preventing diseases and aging. It implies not eating for days, or a period of hours every day, as fasting until noon every day. To begin with, it is dubious to eat when you are not hungry (or vice versa). This diet can cause low levels of blood sugar, metabolic problems, depression, mood swings ... and can be dangerous to work or drive without having eaten.

Coconut oil

What happens with coconut oil and weight loss is that it really is a good shape of fat, but using it as a help for the diet does not make any sense. They advise taking about six tablespoons a day to lose weight. This could improve your energy, mood and even your appetite, but the dietary council that states that coconut oil burns fat should not be considered as a magic wand, because it is not like that.

Raw food

Raw foods are healthy and some of them are especially suitable for daily consumption, but the fact that they are raw does not mean they lead to weight loss. If you are going to eat raw foods, do it intelligently, as part of your diet and not becoming it at the base of it.

Avoid fats

There are diets that say that fats of any kind should be avoided. Without any doubt, this confuses many people. Although there are less healthy fats and that are difficult to digest, such as refined oils or fats of processed foods, any raw fat in its natural state can provide nutritional benefits. It is not good to go, but a diet that lacks fat can actually lead to a low metabolism, so this diet is equally absurd, like the previous ones.

Grapefruit diet.

This diet consists of drinking grapefruit juice or eating half grapefruit before each meal. It is a "extremely low-calorie nutritional" plan, and although the grapefruits are nutritious, on their own they are not the secret weapon to lose weight. If you want to eat healthy to lose weight, do not hesitate to include them in your regime, but do not think that eating grapefruit with your meals can make you lose weight. It is not good to ingest less than 1200 calories a day, and the grapefruit diet requires not exceeding 800 daily. Your metabolism could get worse and so it will be even more difficult to lose weight, not to mention the nutritional deficit you will probably suffer.
