There are many diets, exercises, and lifestyle recommendations for getting rid of excess weight. Among them are recommendations that are familiar to everyone, popular for years, but found to be scientifically ineffective, which distract people and ultimately complicate the weight loss process. In this article, we will examine the most common yet unhelpful deceptive methods for losing excess weight.
Weight loss teas and coffees
No matter how attractive and credible the offer to get rid of excess kilograms without any difficulties may seem, achieving significant changes simply by consuming weight loss drinks is difficult. Such drinks only lead to real weight loss in one case: when nothing is eaten, and only weight loss drinks are consumed, but at the same time, one must be prepared for serious health issues.
Fat-burning cocktails
The effect of these cocktails is based on the principle of calorie deficiency: the consumer drinks a "magical" cocktail instead of lunch or dinner. Yes, it is possible to lose a few kilograms this way, but this method does not change eating habits. As soon as you give up miraculous drinks and return to your usual eating routine, the lost weight will return.
Wrapping with food film
The method of wrapping the body with food film is often recommended as a simple way to lose weight quickly. In this case, the abdomen, thighs, or arms are specially coated and wrapped with film. This method is often used in conjunction with exercise, resulting in increased sweating and loss of body fluids.
Due to increased sweating under the film, the body loses fluids, and as a result, body weight decreases slightly. However, this is not due to fat loss, but rather occurs solely due to the temporary loss of fluids. After drinking, the body returns to its previous weight.
Fat-burning products
Ginger, grapefruit, celery, and other similar products are indeed beneficial and suitable for a healthy eating style. However, one should not overestimate such products: unfortunately, they are not capable of burning excess fat reserves in the body.
The rule of not eating before 12:00 and after 18:00
If you do not pay attention to calories, the products consumed, and staying active, any time-related restrictions will not be beneficial. The main focus should not be on the time allocated for eating, but rather on what and how much is eaten throughout the day.
