Nutritionists dispel popular myths about healthy eating: don't believe them, even if you need to lose weight
And supporters of healthy eating make mistakes when planning their diet.
It's not just about healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle in general, but also about trying to lose weight through diet.
Harmful advice includes detox diets, which help cleanse the body and remove toxins.
This is nothing more than a tribute to fashion, since a healthy person does not need such “services”.
The body copes with the elimination of toxins on its own, and the kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract and other organs help it with this.
Detox diets themselves are low-calorie and cause a lack of nutrients. Because of this, adherents of the diet often experience hormonal imbalances and weight gain.
Another common misconception is that in order to lose weight, you need to completely eliminate carbohydrates and forget about sweets. If you completely give up carbohydrates, you will indeed lose weight, but as a bonus you will get a number of unpleasant consequences, - nutrition expert Artem Veris told Lenta.ru.
In turn, such a diet causes a deficiency of selenium, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamins B and C.
This is fraught with fatigue and weakness, affects the health of hair and nails, and is accompanied by headaches and mood swings.
The next mistake is to believe in the benefits of fruits.
But in reality, a fruit diet can provoke the development of caries, gum and oral diseases, as well as weight gain.
You should also not try to replace animal protein with plant protein, since the latter is less digestible and does not contain the required amount of amino acids.
