Drink or not drink: whether water really interferes with weight loss

Combating overweight is not easy and requires a comprehensive approach. However, among the popular Lifehacks for rapid weight loss, many are more harmful than helping. What are the basic myths - the nutritionists explain.

Myth 1: To drink less - to lose
weight faster can you really give the illusion of "weight loss", but only due to the loss of water. As experts explain, sufficient fluid level is necessary for normal metabolism. If there is little water in the body, metabolism slows down, which, on the contrary, interferes with fat loss. In addition, fluid deficiency can cause heart, blood and kidney problems.

Myth 2: "After six, do not eat"
this advice only works if you go to bed at 21:00. In fact, it is important to have dinner no later than 2-3 hours before bedtime. If you are hungry in the evening, it can cause insomnia or night to the refrigerator. But if you properly plan the time of the last meal, then the body will be full, and the goal - weight loss - will not be affected.

Myth 3: Unfortunately
, unfortunately, even "natural" drugs can be dangerous. Medicinal plants in a large dose can cause side effects, and some teas can stimulate excessive excretion of fluid from the body or affect the cardiovascular system. Before taking any additives, you should consult your doctor.

Myth 4: You need to completely eliminate "all harmful"
balanced nutrition is the basis of healthy weight loss. It is important not to limit yourself to only a few "allowed" products, but to adhere to a variety of diet with enough calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. According to nutritionists, 80% of success depends on nutrition, and only 20% - on sports.

Myth 5: The faster you lose weight - the better
you should lose weight gradually. Ideal weight loss - up to 5 kg per month. Sharp weight loss harm the body, worsens the skin, can cause hormonal failures. In addition, the smaller you have overweight-the slower the process of reducing body weight. Any weight loss should be based on a healthy approach. A sufficient amount of water, regular balanced nutrition, moderate exercise and lack of haste is the basis of the result that will stay with you for a long time. And most importantly - it will not hurt your health.
