The first myth refers to the high consumption of proteins. A lot of people tend to believe that by consuming extremely high amounts of proteins, their bodies will gain more muscles. This statement is completely false; every weight loss diet should include proteins, but only in a reserved amount. You see, proteins take a lot of body fluids to eliminate waste, which is why the excessive protein consumption may lead to dehydration and other problems.

The second myth refers to water consumption. Ok, now we are getting to the most interesting part about a weight loss diet. You should be very careful, since there are a lot of people who might tell you that, by reducing your water consumption, you will loose weight, and while this is true, you will only loose weight related to your body fluids, which might lead to further complications in your body, but you will not be loosing any fat at all. Water consumption is of extreme importance in every weight loss diet, not only because it keeps your body free of toxins, but also because it gives your body the nutrients it needs to stay fit.

The last myth refers to sugar consumption. Ok, we all know that candies and sugar filled types of food are probably the most enjoyed meals that people crave; however, for your weight loss diet, people might have told you that sugar is out of the picture if you are truly trying to lose some weight. The truth is that your sugar consumption should depend on the process that you are willing to follow during a weight loss diet. If your weight loss diet includes plenty of exercise, then sugar is utterly important. Sugar will give you the fuel you need in order to improve your performance at any given sport, the amount of energy that it provides will easily help you when burning the amount of fat it provides, and more.
