If you want to lose weight, stop believing what are real diet myths or false promises that compromise both your relationship with weight and your efforts to lose weight effectively.

In short, if you really want to make peace with your body and find your way in the fight against extra pounds, stop believing certain nonsense about diets, weight loss and so on.

And in particular to these that I list here:

1. If the weight of the scale does not drop, you are not doing anything : in reality, the times of weight loss are subjective and indeed it is a good thing that initially the body weight seems to remain as it is, otherwise it means that from one day to the next what we lose are the fluids and glycogen stores.
   It is good that the first days and even the first week of the diet does not correspond to a decline. Just keep going that way! Try to keep an eye on what you eat and have a healthy but satisfying diet simply by focusing on quality foods.
2. Are you sure you are hungry? The problem with many diets, and precisely with the concept of diet, is to think that we are now in a restriction and we will always be hungry . In fact, we often eat more, at the volume level of food (for example, more fruits and vegetables), and this feeling of hunger is a little psychological trap. We are the ones who think it and that’s it.
3. The fat-free diet: A totally fat-free diet (via butter, via oil, no nuts, no seeds, no eggs, etc.) with low-fat foods makes it harder for your body to absorb some nutrients (which carry fats, such as fat-soluble vitamins) and slows down the metabolism. So be careful NOT to overdo it. Cutting all fat to cut calories is a trick that doesn’t pay off.
4. Cutting calories makes you lose weight: this must be taken with a grain of salt. We must eat healthier, but also pay attention to what we put on the plate to promote weight loss. No to foods with a high glycemic index even if they are low-calorie, such as rice cakes or rusks, for example, especially if we abuse them .
5. The more you exercise, the more you lose weight: physical activity is important, but overdoing it increases stress levels, which prevent us from losing weight and indeed tend to make us fat. If we then associate caloric restriction with gymnastics, the body enters survival mode, slowing down the metabolism and doing somersaults in order not to lose weight.
   We try to do the right thing, without wasting hours on spinning.
