Food myths abound these days due to a profusion of conflicting information too readily available and communicated (via the Internet among others). The dietary advice are everywhere, you can almost believe that you request. There are doctors, scientists, nutritionists, dietitians, etc.. all of which have some different ideas and concepts on how to lose weight. How can we choose who to believe? We will debunk the myths for you 3 most common food, which prevent us from losing weight:
1) Food Myth # 1 “Carbohydrates are bad for my health”
It is a myth because in reality most carbs are really good for you. If you were to follow what are called “rules carbohydrates” and not eating food “white” then you will avoid, for example, bananas. Now it is true that bananas increases your blood sugar slightly, the benefits of vitamins and nutrients provided by the banana far outweigh the slight increase in blood sugar levels.
Carbohydrates
There are carbs that are not as good for your health, such as refined white bread. But do not let the myth “carbs are bad” you stay away from fruits and vegetables. Most of us already know that proteins make us feel full. What many of us are not always realize is that these are carbohydrates that give us our energy. So if you are seriously trying to lose weight, do not decrease too much carbohydrate intake, because you need carbohydrates as fuel for starting any diet.
2) Food Myth # 2 “I can not grow by eating salads”
Apparently, eating a salad would be a good idea if one adheres to the idea of eating only lettuce with nothing on it (no dressing for example). If you eat this kind of salad all the time, then you will not gain weight.
When you go to a restaurant, for example, and order a salad, you think a salad is healthier for you and you will not gain weight with her. Unfortunately, it is wrong to think so when you add to this salad, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, diced ham, etc.. then you sprinkle the salad with a vinaigrette. That’s how you add tons of calories and fat to a salad without even realizing it. You may add so much fat and calories unconsciously it would be almost better for you to eat a hamburger at a fast food restaurant, you can save calories and compared to the previously described salad!
Thus, it must be very careful with fat and calories when you eat unconsciously added a salad.
We all know that breakfast is an extremely important meal. We also know that eating healthy will lead to better health, which will lead to affordable life insurance . Start eating healthy today!

1.Proteins are the basis of every living cell. They are used for muscle development, renewal of the skin, nails, hair. The ideal consumption of protein is about 150 grams per day, provided to vary the sources: red meat, white meat, fish, eggs, ham, but also pulses and cereals.
2.Carbohydrates fuel the brain vital, are our main source of energy. Every day we consume carbohydrates (rice, pasta, starches, cereals, wholemeal bread is preferred). The simple sugars like candy, jams, etc., are not essential. They are stored as fat.
3.The fruits are rich in sugars but they are especially useful for their vitamin C intake We must eat every day at least 2 fruits, raw to preserve their vitamins, or cooked for sensitive stomachs.
4.The lipid transport vitamins, they are the membrane of our cells and play a role in the structure of organs. You need to consume at least 1 tablespoon of fat per day, preferably uncooked, and focus on the good fatty acids (rapeseed oil, nuts, fatty fish).
5.A typical day will consist of 3 meals, with a varied diet.
6.A breakfast with a drink, cold or warm bread (carbohydrates), butter or margarine (lipid), a dairy product (milk, yogurt, cheese = protein and calcium) and fruit (carbohydrate, vitamins).
7.A breakfast with protein and fat (red meat no more than 2 times a week, white meat, fish, ham, eggs …), vegetables (carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, mineral salts), bread (carbohydrates), a dairy (yogurt, cheese) and fruit (carbohydrate, vitamins). Read the rest of this entry »
Feeding a or an athlete who trains is what he or she eat daily throughout the year.
The food is for humans what is the fuel for a car – you find the best mix for best performance. Because you train, you need more fluid, more energy as carbohydrates and more fat than your friends or friends who are less physically active. You also need more protein than someone who is not training.
The energy must increase as the amount of exercise and exercise intensity increases. Whether your sport requires short bursts of exertion or endurance, carbohydrates are the main source of energy.
By eating a greater quantity of food to meet your energy needs, you get more protein, vitamins and minerals. Athletes who eat enough food to meet their energy needs grow and their training and choose a variety of foods in the four food groups get all the nutrients in sufficient quantity.
Term 1: Do not get rid of certain food groups
Many people go on a diet by eliminating certain foods that are considered as enemies of the diet. Though the body still requires a balance of nutrients even when dieting. Both carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, fiber, water and oxygen is very important for the body.

More commonly known as sugars, carbohydrates are divided into two main types: carbohydrates and sugars fast. In the body, they meet different needs and are not treated equally.
Latest carbohydrates, more complex, are called “slow sugars” because they are gradually absorbed by the intestine. They must indeed be broken, initially, in elementary carbohydrate molecules (glucose, fructose and galactose).
They are opposed to monosaccharides, known as “rapid absorption of sugars, which are immediately absorbed. These have the disadvantage of too quickly stimulate the mechanisms for regulating blood sugar (insulin secretion during a meal), and not to alleviate hunger long enough. A balanced meal should contain two varieties of sugar. Unfortunately, the current trend is to replace the carbohydrate sugars faster (decrease in consumption of pulses and starches in favor of fruit or chocolate bars).
Note finally that the absorption of fructose is also faster than other simple sugars, but it is immediately used half and half in the reserves stored in the form of glycogen. Its use does not trigger insulin secretion, unlike other sugars “fast”, which might have an interest in certain cases of diabetes.
