Bikini Mission: the true / false on diets

1. If I want to lose weight, I definitely forget starchy foods
FALSE The rice, the pasta, the bread, ingested in reasonable quantity, can on the contrary be true allies of your diet since they have a satiating effect, which contributes to decrease the cravings. As long as you do not add the whole butter plate!
2. Light cheeses do not serve much
TRUE There is evidence that people who consume them are more likely to use it again.
In the end, they absorb more calories
3. High protein diets are the only effective
FALSE Several studies prove that if they allow, at first, a spectacular weight loss, they generate in the long term, a recovery equivalent, even superior. In addition, they are likely to cause health problems, including disrupting kidney function.
4. If I start the sport again, I will lose weight
FALSE Physical exercise, unless it is practiced intensively, is not enough in itself to tip the needle of the scale on the right side. At the same time, we must review its food architecture ... However, it can help sculpt our curves!
5. If I eat chocolate, I will end up in hell (by weight)
FALSE Eating two squares a day is entirely allowed as part of a diet. The nutritionist Patrick Serog advises even to eat small quantities, every day, systematically, even when you do not want to. A way to get vaccinated against these chocolate cravings that make us swallow the whole tablet at once ...
6. Fitness or line cereals can help me go the right way
FALSE Forget not only, they are as sweet or almost as their conventional counterparts. But they are also refined foods, which tend to slow down the metabolism. Instead, bet on traditional cereals, in full version.
7. It's worth betting on a progressive diet rather than an express diet
TRUE It has been proven that restructuring food habits over the long term is much more effective than wanting to melt at full speed. We do not deprive ourselves of anything, we learn to eat everything, but no matter how!
8. Long live the king's breakfast, the prince's breakfast, the beggar's dinner!
TRUE AND FALSE It is the total caloric addition that counts and not the fact of privileging this or that meal. But it is true that a breakfast, even very abundant, can not compete, in caloric terms, with a hearty dinner, type starter-main-dessert
9. In case of excess, it is advisable to skip a meal.
FALSE Gross error: not only your body will have to provide the energy expenditure necessary for digestion and assimilation of food that you should have eaten ... But remembering that it was private, it will start survival mode and will store more fat at the next meal.
10. Almonds are high in calories. So when you're on a diet, you avoid!
FALSE When you look at the packaging of a pack of almonds, it is true that there is something to shudder: the caloric content is more than 600 calories per 100 grams. But an American study has found that eating a dozen per day was beneficial in a diet, because it has a satiating effect. We are less likely to be tempted by other foods, particularly sweet ... The bonus: thanks to the fibers they contain, most of the almonds' fats are not stored but eliminated.
