Don’t Be Fooled by These, Weight-Loss Myths.
For those trying to lose weight, it’s not uncommon to see
health tips that revolve around so-called “super foods.” .
Unfortunately, the game of nutritional-telephone
often leads to opinions being sold as facts.
According to Eat This, Not That!, here are
six food myths that could be doing your weight-loss
journey more harm than help.
1. Myth: Kale is the healthiest green, A 2014 study found that spinach and even Romaine
lettuce were more nutritionally dense than kale.
2. Myth: High fructose corn syrup
is more unhealthy than sugar, A 2014 review of five studies found no
difference between the effects of sugar
and HFCS on blood glucose levels. .
3. Myth: Sea salt is
healthier than table salt, Unlike table salt, sea salt doesn’t contain
iodine, which actually plays an important
role in regulating our body’s hormones. .
4. Myth: Diet soda helps you lose weight, Artificial sweeteners have been linked to hard-to-control
eating urges, which likely means more weight gain.
5. Myth: Egg yolks are bad
for your cholesterol, The dietary cholesterol in egg yolks has nothing to
do with the serum cholesterol in your blood.
6. Myth: You won’t lose
weight if you eat at night, Eating a healthy fat/natural carb combo before
bed keeps your blood sugars stable and allows the
fat-burning hormone glucagon to work.
