Nutritionists are sure: it's time to lose weight properly! 4mama experts. Ua on the eve of the beach season gathered the most popular myths that prevent us from doing this, writes health info.

Myth 1. The main thing - calories!.

About how important it is to count calories, everyone knows who at least once in his life tried to go on a diet. Here also we consider. And then we are surprised: I have not eaten one more calorie, but the weight does not go away!.

Nutritionists explain: not all calories equally affect our body! For example, do not compare the calories contained in broccoli and cookies. Judge for yourself. Having eaten broccoli, you gave the body fiber for the work of the digestive tract, vitamin C for the immune system and magnesium for the mood. And when you have eaten cookies on margarine, you have loaded the body with trans fats, which do not split up and are immediately converted to fat.

Nutritionists recommend: first, pay attention to the benefits of products, and only then on the caloric value. Caloric avocado, salmon and nuts, if you know the measure, will saturate the body with vitamins and minerals, and you will not add weight!.

Myth 2. Dark bread is useful. Do you think that all dark bread is useful and made of whole grain flour? This is what unscrupulous producers count on, "tinting" white bread, for example, with molasses, and thus making it visually "healthy".

Hence rule number one: do not pay attention to the color, but better carefully study the label, until you make sure: before you really bread from whole grains.

Myth 3. Products with low fat lead to weight loss You yourself can not even imagine how many dieters are "burned" on an empty belief that skimmed foods are a priori beneficial to health.

The fact is that the product from which the fat was removed, unattractive. And it is taken to "improve" with sugar, starch, flavors and other harmful substances. That's why, if you two "sat" on a low-fat yogurt, the scales on the scales at best will not change.

Myth 4. The best breakfast is oatmeal!.

Oatmeal is really very useful, but ... only if you cook croup more than 30 minutes. "Quick porridge" is deprived of most of its nutrients, but still contain sugar.

So, if you want to prepare a healthy morning meal, get up half an hour earlier and cook whole-grain oatmeal. If desired, it can be sweetened with honey and dried fruits.

Myth 5. I sit on salads - and I grow thin here first of all it is necessary to disappoint those who consider "light salads" olivier and a fur coat. Just accept as a fact: nothing even remotely similar to a healthy diet, these dishes do not have!.

So, here are some simple rules for preparing a healthy salad:.

- The basis of the right salad - raw vegetables and greens.

- If you want to make the salad more satisfying, you can add a boiled egg, boiled (but not fried or smoked!) Poultry or fish.

- The least suitable sauce for a healthy salad is shop mayonnaise, which will kill the whole idea of ??a healthy diet at the root. Give preference to refueling on kefir, olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice.

- Replace the breadcrumbs with seeds - sesame, pumpkin, linseed or even sunflower seeds. The main thing is not to overdo it!.
