Slow weight loss? 3 myths of low-calorie diet

Have you been living on fruits alone? It’s time to think about low-calorie diet and slow weight loss.

Reading about how low-calorie diet pulls down weight loss on ‘Healthifyme’, it takes us back to the days of cavemen.

Layers of fat love the way, they’re entertained by so-called low-calorie food. Always Hungry by David Ludwig breaks the ice on weight loss. Probably, your mind should be thinking about the 7 untold myths of low-calorie food. 

“Milk and eggs add to layers of fat”

Proteins for weight loss: A bowl of Asparagus salad for breakfast might keep your body feather-light for the moment. Still the body is deprived of calories it deserves.

This is when craving crawls into your heart. At the call of your taste buds after an hour, you secretly gorge on crisps. 

Insulin gives it back: Dr. Ludwig unveils insulin as the cause of secret binge eating. Deprived of proteins, insulin stashes body fat leaving a façade in the mind that you’re keeping away from calories.

It provokes the body to binge on high fat so that it’s fueled enough to generate energy. The first-ever hit on weight loss journey starts with “lack of proteins”.

Tip: Proteins take a long time to digest. Therefore, no taste buds would be craving for processed carbs.

“Walnuts and almonds invite bad cholesterol”

Omega 3 fatty acids in stabilizing BMI: You pack celery sticks and pickled cucumber for lunch, only to slow down metabolism.

Later, you feel way too hungry rushing for more carbs. Your body knew you aren’t going to pamper it with Omega-3 fatty acid it’s vying for.

Metabolism fueled up: Nuts combined with Weight training and cardio workout leads to high levels of heat stimulation or metabolism.

Pros call it thermogenesis that burns excess fat faster than it happens with leafy veggies diet. Always Hungry insists on eating fats (monosaturated) to burn fat.

“Paneer or tofu is against weight loss regime”

Calcium keeps the pangs away: You are happy to be snacking on boiled chick peas because you’re under cardio and weight training regime.

After a couple of days, you cannot help falling for quiche offered at tea time. Your body has an optimal level of ruling out pangs.

Calcium burns fat: Dr.Ludwig endorses calcium and good fat like tofu, Greek Yogurt and paneer. He says we’re supposed to eat low-fat to burn fat.

Linoleic acid is the fat-burning secret hiding in dairy foods like paneer and tofu.

By the time you run the taste-buds killing contest, your blood sugar levels would’ve already started to invite the higher level of carbs.
