13.03.2024 16:48
It has long been known that not all diets can be beneficial, that is, help you lose extra pounds, not ruin your health and avoid weight gain after completing the course.
Nutritionists have debunked some persistent beliefs that by eating this or that food you can maintain your figure.
The most popular myths about diet were collected and studied by nutritionist Joyce Patterson, MPH, a dietitian and specialist in diabetes treatment and research at Michigan Medicine (Ann Arbor, USA).
Diets Not Studied by Science
Anyone who decides to lose weight with the keto diet and intermittent fasting is taking an unconscious risk.
The fact is that the programs are still being studied by doctors, and to date there is little information collected to draw conclusions.
That is, scientists have no data on the benefits (or harm) of the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting for the body.
Low-fat products
Losing weight on low-fat and low-carbohydrate foods is considered even more popular. The specialist also includes fasting in this category.
Any of the programs mentioned above involves restrictions that the body has a hard time enduring.
Conclusion
The expert came to the curious conclusion that in terms of long-term weight loss, the results of different eating patterns are approximately the same.
As for recommendations, the scientist advises to adhere to the “80/20” rule, where 80% are dietary products, and 20% of the diet is what you want to eat.
Previously, we talked about who is contraindicated for intermittent fasting.
