HEALTH TIPS
There are a lot of misconceptions floating around whenever it comes to weight loss. A great portion of the accepted beliefs have no foundation and are simply myths.
Here a few facts and tips to help set the record straight!
Become Active—Run, Don't Walk
Walking is not exercise. Think of exercise as a physical activity where you can’t carry on a conversation because you have to breathe.
Calories Are Essential—Burn More!
We always overestimate the amount of calories burned during a day and underestimate the number of calories in food.
It does not matter where the calories come from — carbs, protein or fat. Total calories are taken in vs. total calories burned determine your weight at the end of the day.
It's a Healthy Food—Portion Control
Just because it is healthy does not mean it is not fattening.
Take dried fruit, for example. Dried fruit has five to eight times more calories than the same weight of fresh fruit because it is denser.
Get a New Walk—Speed It Up
Start walking fast, everywhere.
Moving a mass through space faster takes more energy, or calories.
Change Your Lifestyle—Diets Fail
Lifestyle changes are the only way to ensure that you will lose the weight and keep it off.
15oz of Crushed Ice Water—40 calories
Drinking 15oz of crushed ice water will burn 40 calories.
Remember, normal activities, like drinking crushed ice water, burn calories!
The Scale Is Not Broken—Don't Worry
A person’s normal weight can fluctuate by 5 to 10 pounds a day!
Add Crushed Ice—Work for the Heat
Drink everything with crushed ice: it lowers the temperature of the fluid so your body has to burn more calories to heat it up.
