Waiting for the fateful swimsuit test, many of you are stressing yourself out to find ways to lose weight that are effective and not the usual hoaxes.

Unfortunately, however, especially according to many things circulating in newspapers and magazines, it is easy to run into hoaxes often reported in good faith, but misleading for those who want to eat properly and lose weight successfully. I myself have read books about diet books passed off as infallible, where many dynamics were not supported by scientific evidence.

And when those who follow the method fail, they inevitably believe that they have done something wrong or have such health problems that it is impossible for him or her to lose weight.

It’s not true. Everyone can lose weight.
However, it is important not to confuse truth with metaphysics.
Starting from this nice article , let’s see which methods to lose weight are more words than facts.

METHODS TO SLIMMING THAT REVEALS BUFFALO

• Do not have a late dinner (after eight in the evening).

  A typical practice of many detox diets, it is based on the idea that ingesting calories before going to bed increases the chances of these turning into extra pounds. In reality, there are no studies that have confirmed the idea that if you dine after eight you will get fat.

  It would be more correct to think of having dinner when you are hungry, than to force yourself to sit at the table at certain times and then have hunger cramps before going to bed, when eating is definitely more deleterious. In short, when in a diet they tell you how to calibrate meal times, qualquadra not what.

• Carbohydrates make you fat.

  A glaring and fallacious simplification drawn from the hypothesis of insulin as a factor of obesity. However, this hypothesis does not find scientific confirmation. See the Okinawan people who eat carbohydrates for 80% of their diet, considered a model of longevity.

• You have to eat like the caveman.

  It starts from the pseudo-argument according to which modern man is the wrong diet, eating differently from the primitive. This has never had any scientific evidence.

  Moreover, habits and the environment have changed to the point that it makes no sense to deprive oneself of spaghetti because primitive men did not eat them and in nature there is no spaghetti tree.

  Apart from the fact that none of us know anything about the health conditions of primitive humans, who were not a champion of longevity, if we were to think so why not dress in animal skins instead of walking around in the H&M blouse? And why take drugs?
