Slimming is a topic that is talked about a lot at the turn of the year. There is nothing strange about it – most of us want to lose a few kilos or improve our appearance. These goals are most often found on the New Year’s resolutions list.

You probably feel that the wave of knowledge about losing unnecessary fat that floods you is huge. Too huge. You are probably also suspicious of new fashions or news. Very good! Know that slimming is one of those topics about which many myths have arisen. Below are some facts and myths that you may not be aware of (yet).

Slimming starts when you feel hungry - MYTH

A properly balanced reduction diet will not only provide you with all the nutrients but also satisfy your hunger. The portions will not be small at all, but just right. Not only that – sometimes your menu includes a place for sweets or… alcohol! Yes Yes! A good specialist who arranges your diet will take into account not only your taste preferences but also the need for minerals and vitamins, as well as allergies and intolerances. Any good diet must be adapted to the body. Do you prefer to eat veg? Great, tell your dietitian that.

Slimming makes sense when we eat fruit without limits - MYTH

Yes, we agree that fruit is a great source of vitamins and minerals. Nevertheless, they contain a lot of simple carbohydrates, i.e. simply fructose, which in excessive amounts leads to an increase in the level of glucose in the body. It increases the level of glucose in the blood and contributes to weight gain. The recommended amount of fruit during the day is 100 grams.

You can eat pasta, potatoes and bread on your diet – FACT

The problem is not in the products, but in the number of calories they provide. 100 grams of boiled potatoes is only 90 calories and a lot of vitamins C, B6 and potassium. In the case of pasta, of course, it is better to reach for whole grains, the same applies to bread, but no one has died from a little white pasta or bread. When you start losing weight, pay attention to the proportions in which you compose your food – vegetables and protein sources should be the most on the plate.

Slimming goes faster when you exercise - FACT

Not only when you exercise in the gym, run or swim, but also simply when you move more. More exercise is simply more calories burned. What does this mean in practice? You can eat more and the fat will not be deposited on your stomach or thighs. Sounds great, right? Move to your health!

Burn It - burn your body fat!

Slimming is not pleasant, so make the process easier! Deal with your body fat once and for all! Finally lose that fat! Reach for Burn It is simply a dietary supplement that supports fat burning and reduces fatigue during exercise.
