Because the emphasis in the USA is on wellness and longevity, people are investing a lot of time into proper dieting and weight loss. People are so obsessed with losing weight that they will try any new fad or diet. Unfortunately, not every diet works, and some fads can actually cause more harm than good. This creates a dilemma for many people who become frustrated at not having obtained their goal. A Family Doctor in Atascocita, Texas has assisted many patients with their weight loss dilemmas. Here are some weight loss myths that have had to be dispelled because of their erroneous claims.
* People end up going to a doctor for losing weight because a fad failed to deliver on a promise of losing weight and keeping it off. Many fads promise the user that if he or she follow certain diet restrictions, there will be dramatic weight loss. The problem with these type of fads is that often users end up losing weight, but also lose critical nutrients require for a healthy body. If the fad requires the user to eat 800 calories or less per day, serious heart problems could emerge.
* Many people that end up in the emergency room or going to a doctor are there because of the myth about grains and carbs. They are told to avoid pasta and breads. The fact is whole grain products has helped people to avoid chronic conditions such as diabetes or arthritis.
* Some people believe that skipping meals will help them to lose weight. The fallacy in this statement is that when a person skips a meal, he or she ends up eating more on the next meal. Skipping meals has been linked to obesity.
