What’s the new diet of the week?
The diet industry is a multi-million dollar a year business and is always growing. So how does a consumer work through the maze of misinformation and come out a winner on the “weight loss battlefield”?
We will now examine some of the Diet/Nutrition/Exercise myths that are so prevalent in the Health and Fitness industry.

Myth:
Fad diets work
Fact: Fad diets are not the best way to lose weight and keep it off. Fad diets are often limited in calories and food choices. Many of these diets are hard to follow and you may find yourself putting the weight back on. Fad diets may also be lacking in the nutrients that your body needs.
Tip: Losing ½ to 2 pounds a week is possible by making health food choice, watching serving sizes, and adding daily physical activity.

Myth:
High-protein/low-carbohydrate diets are a healthy way to lose weight.
Fact: The long-term health effects of a high-protein/low-carbohydrate diet are unknown. But getting most of your daily calories from high-protein foods like meat, eggs, and cheese is not a balanced eating plan. You may be eating too much fat and cholesterol, which may raise heart disease risk. You may be eating too few fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which may lead to constipation due to lack of dietary fiber. Following a high-protein/low-carbohydrate diet may also make you feel nauseous, tired, and weak.
Tip: A reduced calorie meal plan that includes recommended amounts of carbohydrate, protein, and fat will assist you in your weight loss while keeping energy levels high. By following a balanced meal plan “refer to: Canadian Food Guide” you will not have to stop eating foods you enjoy such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

Myth:
Carbohydrates are fattening
Fact: Bread, rice, pasta, cereal, potatoes, fruits and vegetables are actually low in fat and in calories. They also provide complex carbohydrates which are an important energy source. It is the butter, sour cream, mayonnaise and other toppings that make these food high in calories and in fat.
Tip: The Canadian Food Guide recommends 6 – 11 servings a day. Watch your serving size and limit the use of high fat toppings.

Myth
Foods like salsa, grapefruit, celery can help you burn fat
Fact: No foods can burn fat. Caffeine or other stimulants may speed up your metabolism for a short time, but the end result is not weight loss.
Tip: One pound equals 3500 kilocalories. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to add physical activity and lower caloric intake.

Myth:
Natural or herbal weight-loss products are safe and effective.
Fact: Herbal products are not tested to verify claims as they are not regulated by the Health & Drug Administration. Ephedra, considered a herbal product, is now banned because of serious health problems and even death. Products that claim to be ephedra-free are not necessarily safe as they may contain ingredients similar to ephedra.
Tip: Always talk to your physician before taking any herbal/natural supplements. They may not be safe/effective or may interfere with other medications you are taking.

Myth:
You can lose weight eating your favorite foods
Fact: You can lose weight eating what you want as long as the calories expended exceed calories consumed.
Tip: When trying to lose weight, you can still eat your favorite foods—as long as you pay attention to the total number of calories that you eat. Eat smaller meals frequently and choose foods that are lower in calories.

Myth:
Low-fat or nonfat is good
Fact: Low-fat/nonfat versions may contain added sugar, flour or starch thickeners to improve flavor and texture of the food product and these ingredients add calories. Many processed low-fat or nonfat foods have just as many calories as the full-fat version of the same food or even more calories.
Tip: Read the Nutrition Facts Label on a food package to find out the serving size and how many calories are in a serving.

Myth:
You should not eat Fast Food when dieting
Fact: Fast foods can be part of a healthy weight-loss program with a little bit of know-how.
Tip: Choose salads and grilled foods such as a grilled chicken breast. Limit fried foods as they are high in fat and calories, so order them only once in a while. Use small amounts of high fat toppings such as mayonnaise, salad dressing, bacon, cheese, sour cream etc.

Myth:
Fewer calories = greater weight loss

Fact: Cut your calories too far—below 1,200 a day—and you’ll end up with a double whammy that quickly decreases your metabolism and muscle mass. Your body will start using muscle for energy and store the fat thinking it’s going through starvation.

Tip: To get the most out of the calories you do eat, choose whole foods such as produce, fresh meat and fish, and whole grains.

Myth:
Skipping meals is a good way to lose weight
Fact: Studies show that people who skip breakfast and eat fewer times during the day tend to be heavier than people who eat a healthy breakfast and eat four or five times a day. Eating smaller meals throughout the day helps to control appetite.
Tip: Frequently eat small healthy meals throughout the day including low-fat and low-calorie foods.

Myth:
You’ll gain weight if you eat after 8 pm
Fact: It does not matter what time of day you eat. It is what and how much you eat and how much physical activity you do during the whole day that determines whether you gain, lose, or maintain your weight not the time of day.
Tip: Take into consideration how many calories you ate during the day. Avoid eating in front of the television as the distraction may cause you to overeat.

Myth:
Lifting weights is not good to do if you want to lose weight, because it will make you “bulk up.”
Fact: Lifting weights or doing strengthening activities like push-ups and crunches 2 or 3 days/week will not “bulk you up”; but will actually help you maintain or lose weight. These activities will help you build muscle which means you burn more calories even while sitting.
Tip: Add 2 to 3 days a week doing such activities as lifting weights, using resistance bands, push-ups, sit-ups or household tasks that involve pushing and pulling.

Myth:
Eating dairy makes you fat.

Fact: Dairy is necessary to fat loss
Combined with calorie control, a dairy-rich diet can nearly double body-fat reduction and weight loss and help prevent weight gain. Part of the reason is the hormone calcitriol, which helps conserve calcium for stronger bones while telling fat cells to convert less sugar to fat and burn more body fat. The result is leaner fat cells and a leaner you.

Tip: Follow the Canada’s Food Guide recommendations for dairy.

Myth:
“Going vegetarian” means you are sure to lose weight and be healthier.
Fact: Research shows that vegetarians on average tend to weigh less and eat fewer calories than non-vegetarians. Choosing a vegetarian eating plan with a low fat content may be helpful for weight loss. However, food choices such as high-fat, high-caloric foods will contribute to weight can in vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. Vegetarian diets should be well planed to make sure they are balanced.
Tip: Choose a vegetarian eating plan that is low in fat and that provides all of the nutrients your body needs.

Myth:
Brown equals whole-grain.

Fact: Read the labels – there are lots of products claiming to be whole-grain.

Tip: Look for labels where “whole-wheat” or “whole-grain” top the list. The extra fiber in whole grains is the key: It makes you feel full, which means you eat less. It also helps level out the peaks and valleys of
