3. What Are Some of the Major Misconceptions About Diets and Exercise?
Skipping meals will help you lose weight. When you skip meals, your body fights back by slowing down your metabolism. Metabolism is the rate at which you burn calories. When metabolism slows down, it is harder for you to shift weight and changes your system into starvation mode. You will lose weight more efficiently if you eat several small meals a day rather than one or two large ones.
All fat is bad for you. Fat is the principal fuel of the body. Unsaturated fats included in foods like nuts, avocados, and fish are essential fats needed by the body. They also help build hormones and cells.
Exercise can turn fat into muscles. This is one of the biggest misconceptions about fitness and exercise. Muscle and fat are two different kinds of tissues and cells, and one can never turn into the other. The two have distinct compositions. Muscle tissue has protein, water, and glycogen while fat is consists of bundles of fatty acids. Therefore, fatty acids can't turn into proteins.
If there is no pain in exercise, there is no gain. Exercise should not cause physical agony. Many of you believe that pain during workouts signifies progress. Honestly, this is the farthest from the truth. It is unnecessary to work out to the point of experiencing severe pain. Expect moderate soreness if the body has not been working specific muscles. When exercise becomes painful, it is a sign to cease overexertion, or else you will experience muscle and bone injuries.
The more you sweat, the more you lose body fat. Sweating is dependent on humidity and temperature. In cold countries, you do not sweat profusely, but you still utilize your body fat for energy.
