• The aim instant weight loss and produce with minimal effort " The rapid growth of obesity in our country , have increased in recent years ¸ magic formulas " . This variety of options has implement confusion in many people about healthier nutrition practices to ensure effective results . "

• " This confusion has led thousands of people to homemade diets and how many of them unscientific, which eventually lead to frustration. "

• " It is important for the success of a diet very clear implementation of certain habits and eliminate the bad eating habits for weight loss . In other words, regardless of the name of the diet, there are very specific teachings , what should and should not happen when starting a weight loss process "

Five false paradigms the decrease
• In this context, there are at least five common paradigms , the enemies of the diet , as they lead the person to the frustration , and may fail due to lack of results . These are:

Error 1 : Longer time without food
"One of the most common mistakes of dieting is to try to stay the whole day without food. Thinking it this will not help them lose weight. It is a classic case of short to eat breakfast practically no lunch , afternoon tea and evening something nothing contains , is also kept as a diet. , we need to understand in this context that in the nutritional medicine are two very different sensations. hunger is unstoppable. appetite is clear, however, when a person is discriminated against , what do they eat and what not . , if you spend more than four hours without eating , the body begins to get hungry . 's why you should not spend more than four hours without eating.

Mistake 2: Thinking that physical activity is enough to lose weight
" Another common mistake is to believe that is to be active enough to lose weight. There are people who work out one or two hours a day and end up eating a few fried empanadas. Course, physical activity plays an important role in any process of weight loss , but for this to happen , it must be accompanied with an appropriate meal plan . "

Error 3: misinformation about food and energy intake
" Another common mistake is to assume misinformation or mistaken things , if you think about what to eat and what not . It is very common when starting a diet , for example, not to eat bread, and instead of cookies, where these have a lot more calories . , the truth is that French bread has 270 calories per 100 grams. while the same amount of "diet" cookies has 400 . "

Error 4 : belief that the Light food " inevitably lead to losing weight
" Another common mistake to misuse of dietetic foods and ignore your calorie level. It is common , for example , replace a common yogurt for three low-fat yogurt in the day. The fat is 40 to 50 percent fewer calories than the average but by the abuse , the amount is about adding more calories. If, as a dietary food instead of the usual , I will have produced a saving of calories , but if I increase the share will ultimately eat more . For the mayonnaise Another very typical: 100 g mayonnaise are regularly So if diet or tripled doubled with 730 calories, while the same amount of calorie mayonnaise has between 360 and 400 , the share actually after adding more calories , or minimally no compromise nothing .

Error 5: To lose weight , the quality is important, not the quantity
"It's come and ask for patients in the office : Doctor , give me a diet to lose weight, but one that allows me to eat a lot Unfortunately this is not possible , because with the exception of water , other has everything more . or less calories. order , we can illustrate this in the case of patients who are vegetarians , but can not lose weight. It happens that , while plants have very few calories , you can exaggerated in the crowd. for example, what happens with the cows ( with the exception of your digestive system , which has its differences) , eat vegetables but are thick. It is important that the patient 's eating habits is regulated so that he does not eat much .

The risks of uncontrolled diet
• " The diet without professional supervision can have an extremely negative effect on the body , because , as we have mentioned above, in general, people have the wrong paradigm on healthy eating . For example, it is assumed that the diet of the four P (no bread, no pasta, no dessert and no potatoes ) is effective . However, this diet is totally false because , for example, potatoes are a dietary food if consumed properly. the boiled potatoes have 80 calories per 100 grams, while the same amount beef fillet has up to 120 calories.

• " In addition to the false paradigm , is another danger of dieting without professional supervision that there is an imbalance of nutrients that cause very negative consequences for the organism . A clear example is the famous" dissociated diet. " Also, just to eat vegetables is very dangerous , because there is then a diet low in iron and protein of high biological value . When this happens , the person begins to be malnourished. "
