    Diet and nutrition myths and facts

    The discussion about nutrition and what diet to do are one of the most common topics. The focus on being healthy is inadvertently linked to nutrition.

    Diets are also often explored in terms of weight management, since it seems that being dissatisfied with our weight and figure is a global issue.

    And since the topic is very prevalent, there is also a lot of information about diet, nutrition and how to become healthy. But unfortunately, all this information does not necessarily have to be true.

    The misinformation that is rampant is not innocuous; your diet plays a pivotal role in your wellbeing, as your nutritionist in Karachi will also tell you. So, when you fall for these myths, you inadvertently endanger your health and wellbeing. Thus, debunking myths about diet and nutrition is imperative.

     Myths about diet and nutrition that you need to know!

    All carbohydrates are bad

    Carbs have become akin to a Bond villain, but unfortunately, that is simply not true. In the food pyramid, carbohydrates enjoy a significant portion because it breaks down into glucose, the basic unit of energy for your body. For to function then, your body does need carbohydrates.

    However, it is the consumption of too much refined carbohydrates that is bad for you. Sugar, white flour some examples of refined carbohydrates that when consumed in greater quantities, can lead to problems like weight gain and diabetes.

    So, instead of hating all carbohydrates, take natural sources like fruits and vegetables, and whole grains, that contain adequate quantities of fiber alongside and thus are not dangerous for your health.

    Food with fat is automatically bad

    Much like carbohydrates, foods that contains fats are also demonized. This concept also lacks nuance. Not all fat is bad, and fat in moderate amount is also needed by the body.

    Of course, you should moderate your intake of trans and saturated fats but eliminating them entirely will also cause your body to run into problems.

    Furthermore, fats that are found in fatty-fish and nuts is healthy. Consumption of these is especially important for your cognitive functioning. Hence, do you label all fat as bad.

    Diet food is good

    Well, you feel for this trick too. Just because the label contains the word diet does not make it good for you. For to categorize a product as healthy, you should look at the nutrient content of the product, instead of falling trap to the packaging.

    Moreover, research has shown that certain foods that are labelled as diet contain greater quantities of sugar, salt, etc., so they are anything but healthy.

    So, rather than using foods that claim to be diet, try to consume regular foods but be mindful of your quantity.

    If you want to lose weight, you need to cut back calories, only

    Many people turn to starving when they want to lose weight, which is wrong on so many accounts. If you dangerously reduce your caloric intake, you endanger the health of your body. It also cuts back on the nutrients needed by the body, which then leads to diseases and problems related to nutrient deficiency.

    Furthermore, when you do not give your body the minimum required calories, it starts to perceive itself to be in a situation of scarcity. Thus, body enters survival mode, and starts storing food instead, which is counter intuitive.

    Also, the metabolic rate is also contingent on different factors, like your hormones. Therefore, simply cutting back on your calories will not result in you losing dramatic amounts of weight.

    Alongside being unhealthy and dangerous, cutting back calories is also not always effective. You need to look at your body holistically. And while you can even temporarily drop a few pounds by eating less, it is unsustainable and when you go on your regular diet, you gain it all back.

    So, if you want to lose weight, it is better to consult a nutritionist at Ittefaq Hospital.
