5 weight-loss misconceptions

Myth 1: Celery, grapefruit, and cabbage burn fat
In fact, there are no foods that burn fat. Some foods may increase metabolic rate, but only for a short period of time. And this has not been identified as a cause of weight loss.

Myth 2: Drink green tea to lose weight
This is completely untrue. However, tea contains many polyphenols — substances that help neutralize cholesterol that is dangerous for the arteries.

Myth 3: To avoid feeling hungry, eat apples
This is not true. Apples and other fruits cannot suppress hunger; on the contrary, they stimulate appetite.

Myth 4: Toast makes you gain weight less quickly than regular bread.
This statement is not true. Toast contains more calories and more fat than regular bread.

Myth 5: Fasting is the best way to lose weight
Fasting can cause fatigue and dizziness. Fasting is a dangerous method. If you do not eat all day, then in the evening you may eat 3 times more than usual.
