You may have wanted to start a diet many times in the past, only to shy away from it because of some of the things you’ve heard or the self-doubt you have to succeed. There are many myths about dieting, and hopefully, we’ll dispel them today!

The number one myth people fall prey to is that you can lose weight fast by eliminating as many calories as possible from your diet or by starving yourself. This is an extremely unhealthy way to go about it because your body goes into starvation mode, shutting down as much weight loss as possible.  Some people only want to lose weight fast because they have an outfit they want to fit into for a special occasion coming up next week. Don’t wait until the last minute to start a diet.

Another myth we face in our quest for a slimmer waistline is the one that tells us to only eat a certain type of food all day, every day. Grapefruit, pepper-laden water, and even hot dog diet fads have resulted in many binges over the years. Following dangerous fad diets means your body’s not getting the necessary nutrients it needs to fight off illnesses and stay healthy.

You may have also heard that you can never stray from your diet. If you do, you’ll need to exercise for hours to make up for it. This isn’t true. It’s okay to have that fudge brownie once in awhile. You only need to adjust your calorie intake for the day. There’s really no need to exercise for hours just to compensate for one little treat.

One myth you may hear is the one that says you can’t eat before you go to bed, because you’ll get fat in your sleep. This one isn’t true because a diet only means that you’re eating healthy and watching your caloric intake for the day. Having a light snack before bed isn’t going to make a big difference unless it’s a 7-course meal or a full gallon of Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia.

How about the one that says you can’t eat anything between meals? It’s better that you do eat snacks. Eat smaller meals throughout the day to keep your hunger satisfied. By eliminating snacks between meals, you’re only going to make yourself hungrier at meal times, which cause you to eat a lot more than you really need just to satisfy your hunger.

There’s another myth that says you shouldn’t consume any dairy products at all because they’re too fattening. Dairy contains nutrients your body needs, so you should have some dairy – n fact, some studies suggest those who consume, have better weight loss success! Just make sure you limit your amounts and go for the low-fat versions.

Try not to fall victim to the myriad of diet myths circulating the ‘net. A healthy balance of proper eating (most of the time) and exercise can work wonders for your diet success!

If there is one diet to try then Edna recommends the Nutrisystem Weight Loss Plan

Lose 10 pounds faster when you consume more water.  Water is a highly underrated dieting tool.  Not only does water increase your metabolism’s burning ability, it keeps everything flowing smoothly through your body.  It helps keep joints lubricated for more effective exercising, moves fiber out of your body while adding bulk to it so you feel more full for longer and water boosts the bioavailability of plant nutrients.  The average person needs 64 ounces, minimum, throughout the day, to fight off hunger pangs, allow the proper absorption of nutrients into the body’s tissues and keep your energy up all day.   Water shouldn’t be drunk quickly for its best effects, it should be drunk in 6 ounce increments every hour, except after exercising.

To drop those 10 pounds more quickly and efficiently, water absorption is best when the water is drunk at room temperature but ice water burns more calories.  By alternating one icy water bottle and one room temperature water bottle you get the best of both worlds.  Your body burns more calories heating the ice water up while the tepid water keeps your body from unnecessarily retaining tissue fluid, keeping the pounds melting off.  If you dehydrate yourself, even just a little, your body will start storing in your tissues out of self-defense.  This can add an extra 5 pounds, or more, to the weight you want to lose.  Drinking the right type and temperature of water will also help keep hunger at bay.  Purified water is the easiest type of water for your body to process. 

To lose 10 pounds faster, drinking more water will boost your metabolism.  The more water you drink, the lower your fat deposits will be because your liver doesn’t have to work so hard at metabolizing fat.  The liver is your main fat burning organ and cholesterol producer.  This is why keeping hydrated during exercising is especially important.  After you’ve been sweating and getting your blood racing, your body needs to flush out the sludge you stirred up.  You should drink 16-24 ounces after.  Water helps significantly with the cleaning process; it provides an easy exit for flushing these toxins out of your system while increasing your liver’s abilities without straining it.  The more hydrated your liver is the easier it can process and sort out the nutrients it needs from the things that need to be eliminated.

Dropping 10 pounds is easiest when you increase your water intake. Water fights hunger pangs, keeps your tissues from retaining unhealthy water weight and is the major component in detoxification. Your energy will increase, your liver function will increase and your waist will decrease just by adding more water to your day. So fill up your water jug, sip it all day and see some great results.
