discuss three myths about diet
Answers
Explanation:
Myth 1. Skipping meals will save calories
Skipping meals can make you feel tired and hungry, meaning you'll be more likely to reach for high-fat, high-calorie snacks, or compensate with bigger meals when you do eat. It's also harder to make a healthy choice when you are very hungry. Get into a regular pattern when it comes to your meals and plan ahead to make sure you look forward to tasty and healthy options.
Myth 2. You can only eat a limited range of foods
If you eat nothing but celery or oranges all day long for a week you will, of course, lose weight. But fad diets will quickly become boring and won’t be effective in the long run. That’s just as well, because while they are low in calories, they are often lacking in the full range of nutrients your body needs to function properly in the long-term. If you need to take vitamin and mineral supplements alongside a diet plan, then that’s a clue that it might not be providing you with all the nutrients you need. It’s not necessary to starve to lose weight. Making small changes you can stick to is the key to long-term success.
Myth 3. You're not allowed treats
Depriving yourself of all the foods you enjoy won't work and banning certain foods often makes us want to eat them even more. You will eventually give in to temptation and abandon your efforts, and this can lead to feelings of guilt and failure. Remember, one slip does not have to mean a fall and there's no harm in allowing yourself a treat now and again. Plan to have small amounts of the foods you love and savour every mouthful.
