#1: Never crash diet
When you lose weight rapidly your body is typically only losing glycogen (carbohydrate) and water weight, not fat. Your body thinks that it’s starving and reduces its metabolic rate, which makes it harder for your body to burn each calorie (they burn at a slower pace than they normally would). Then when you start eating normally again, your body stores as much food as it can into your fat cells in case of another “famine.â€
Pregnancy is about creating a new life, but ultimately it is the mother’s decision whether or not to continue smoking. Your pregnancy can be a powerful motivation to give up smoking, because you’re making this choice on behalf of your unborn child who is completely dependent on you.
Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 14 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting up? The answer, in a word, is addiction.
Doctors hear this complaint often: “I’m dieting all the time, but I can’t lose any weight.†For many people, losing weight is a frustrating endeavor. No matter how hard they seem to be trying, nothing changes. What is going on? Identifying the problem is only part of the solution.
Myth #1: If you don’t eat carbohydrates, you’ll lose weight.
Losing weight is a science: Calories/energy consumed vs. energy burned. Whenever you eat more calories than you burn, you’ll gain weight. Whenever you eat less calories than you burn, you’ll lose weight. According to all the experts and research there isn’t any other way to lose weight, besides surgery.
