Ordinary people believe that dieting can cause a loss of strength, which affects not only a lack of energy, but also overall well-being.

Reasoning in this way further, we can come to the conclusion that any diet is harmful to health. Is this really so?

In fact, the topic of healthy eating and diets in particular is fertile ground for various pseudo-scientific myths.

A healthy diet does not drain energy, writes endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova in her Telegram channel.

This is confirmed by studies conducted with the participation of rodents.

As part of the experiment, test mice ran on a wheel for several hours a day.

The rodents that took part in the race were put on a diet.

It turned out that the diet did not affect the activity of the subjects.

They ran on the wheel for the same amount of time as before they were put on the diet.

The expert once again draws attention to the fact that the diet should be healthy and balanced.

It is also important to understand the difference between counting calories and nutrient deficiencies.
