I will not say that these are some kind of scams, but certain practices that revolve around the weight loss industry very dominantly, such that a lot of new beginners or people who don't have the proper knowledge about how nutrition and the human body works tend to follow these tips in order to lose weight,
Which are totally not required to lose weight, in fact, in some cases, it does bad for the body.
1.Eliminate carbohydrates from your diet to lose weight(You need carbs for many of your body functions, from your brain to other parts of your body, they require glucose to function which again comes from carbs.
Thus never eliminate carbs from your diet, as carbs are the most preferred consumed food for all of us, thus try to balance it with some fiber, protein, and healthy fats, which is reduce some amount of carbs and consume it with other essential nutrients to make it a balanced meal.
But never eliminate it from your diet, just strike the correct balance according to your body needs.
Good source of carbs:- Rice, Whole Wheat, Oats, Millets, Multigrains, Bajra, Makki, etc.
2.Low fat dairy is better than full-fat dairy(Again very big scam being run by the companies to produce another line of products and sell it to make some more money, the only dairy that you should be going for is the dairy in its natural form which is full-fat dairy, like low-fat dairy taste really bad, so these companies add sugar to make it more edible in taste which again put more dent on your health, thus you don't have to be too fancy and go with the basic normal things.
4.Olive oil is the best oil for cooking
If you are living in India or any other country, try to eat/consume the oils which are local and regional to the location you live in,
for eg in south India, people use coconut oil to cook food, and when we move slightly up in north India, there is peanut, mustard oil used for cooking.
Thus you can use those local and usually available oils for cooking or desi ghee as well.
but thinking that olive oil is the best oil to cook and helps in weight loss is something not true(it is just clever marketing)
5.Desi ghee will make you fat(Desi ghee is kind of one of the best food on the planet which suits almost every person in terms of digestion and assimilation of nutrients of desi ghee.
It is so good in terms of nourishment and proving nutrient that Virat Kohli adds desi ghee to his diet every day (although he wanted to be full vegan, due to this superfood he remained vegetarian)
A good desi ghee will help your body in,
- Nourishing your skin, hair, and joints
- Balancing hormones
- Boosting testosterone in males
- Good For your gut(helps in digestion)
- Reduce the Glycemic index of food
- Rich in CLA(helps to burn fat to a good extent, providing that your lifestyle is healthy)
- Boosting fertility.
- Helping in the assimilation of nutrients.
- The best cooking medium as desi ghee has a high smoking point
Those processed foods, chips, biscuits, and unhealthy lifestyles will make you fat.
A good desi ghee that is made using the Vedic principles will provide you the following benefits.
Again a lot of brands are selling desi ghee which again you never know who is making the product without any adulteration or without comprising on the process to prepare desi ghee.
Thus try to research yourself for a good brand(as some brands are fooling in the name of organic as well) a good brand whose desi ghee that you can consume is Ishavasyam, which I am personally consuming their desi ghee for the past 2–3 months and it is the best desi ghee that I had.
As they prepare their desi ghee from the old Vedic way, which is producing desi ghee from curd and that too from the good Gir cows a2 milk.
As the total quality of the desi ghee depends upon the input(milk) and other factors such as the condition cow were in and the food they were fed.
Which is why the output as a desi ghee is better and original.
Hence you can buy their desi ghee from their website(ishavasyamproducts.com) and Amazon as well.
Again if you want to opt for the quality food you have to invest a bit more, which is again worth spending and a better investment for your health than buying junk and processed foods.
6.White Rice will make you fat
White rice is one of the best grain which is nutritious, and easy for digestion for our body, just make sure that you never overdo any food, from protein to rice to fats.
have all of them in moderation and in a balanced way and you will be fine and yes you don't have to eat brown rice to lose weight, you can eat white rice and be healthy.
Just balanced your meal with protein, fiber, and fats and eat according to your body requirements.
8.Green Tea will help you to lose weight
Green tea is a good beverage that is rich in antioxidants and has decent caffeine in it.
But thinking that eating anything you want and then having some green tea will burn your fat like magic is something very far from reality.
You can add a green tea to your diet but make sure that you are eating in a calorie deficit to lose weight.
9.You just have to be strict/restrictive for 3 months to lose weight, once you lose weight you can come back to your normal routine.
Fitness or leading a healthy lifestyle is not temporary which you can do for some months and get back to your old routine, it is a lifestyle that you have to find which is suitable and easy for you so that you can continue for the best time.
These are some of the most common weight loss scams that are in the so-called weight-loss industry and will be there if normal people like you don't get educated or informed.
I hope this answer add value to your life!
