Fitness, Uncovering the TRUTH
Anything from military diets, liquid diets, no carb diets, cardio training, and 21 day fixes, we all have heard different kinds of ways to lose weight. Here are the few I found most interesting:
If you’re heavy than you’re fat: MYTH
- This one gets me. A lot of times, physicians or schools will go by a person’s BMI in order to say they are healthy, overweight, or underweight. Body Mass Index charts match up with a person’s height, weight, and age. Although, this technique could be useful in some cases: everyone’s body is different. A more accurate representation to match up for health is Body fat %. This technique can be calculate by skin-fold measurements and compares the amount of muscle a person has to the amount of fat. Since muscle weighs more than fat, the scale can be very misleading. This explains why two people could weigh the same amount and look completely opposite.
Carbs are bad: MYTH
- Carbohydrates are essential in an everyday diet. It can be frustrating if you are at the gym and are not seeing the muscle gains you are looking for. Carbs can be tricky since every person will react to them differently. Your body could be satisfied with 60g per day, maybe 100g per day, some bodybuilders eat 300g per day. There is a difference between a good and a bad carb source. For example, a bagel and brown rice have similar macro nutrients and are both a carb source. The bagel, is going to put the body into fat storing mode and the brown rice will not spike your insulin levels and will keep the body in fat burning mode. Both digest differently in the body. The carbohydrate intake needed for your body depends on your personal goals, body type, and lifestyle.
