4 Myths about Weight Loss Myth 1: Can you eat whatever you want and still lose weight? The answer is no. In order to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you actually eat or drink. It may seem that sometimes you eat everything unhealthy and delicious and still lose weight. However, this is not completely true. You just use more energy than you consume. Myth 2: Does skipping a meal mean losing weight? As surprisingly as it may sound, skipping meals can make you feel hungry. When you skip meal, you eat even more afterwards since you do not give your body enough energy to function properly. Myth 3: Does drinking water make you lose weight? Water does not cause you to lose weight, but it helps your body to stay hydrated and might help you to snack less. Drinking enough water can be associated with appetite reduction, consuming fewer calories, and burning slightly more calories. It is advisable to drink around two liters of water a day. Myth 4: Can you lose weight by keeping a vegetarian diet plan? In fact, by following vegetarian eating plan, you eat less calories and fat than non-vegetarians. The vegan lifestyl offers many benefits over a meat-based diet. A vegetarian diet tends to be lower in total fat, and vegetarians tend to eat proportionally more polyunsaturated fat to saturated fat compared with non-vegetarians. Moreover, this diet improves digestion, minimizes the risk of diabetes, and lowers the risk of lung and colorectal cancer.
