【Weight Loss Misconceptions】
1. There is no fat in fruits and vegetables
There is fat in any fruit and vegetable, but the fat content varies or is relatively low.
For example, 100 grams of blueberries contain 1 gram of fat; 100 grams of strawberries contain 0.4 grams of fat; and bananas contain even less, only 0.2 grams, which seems negligible.
However, avocados have a surprisingly high fat content, with 23.5 grams of fat per 100 grams.
2. Drinking beer will make you fat
Many men seem to prove this theory with their constantly protruding bellies, but the reality is often not the case. The calorie content of beer is actually not high, with 160 kilocalories per 0.5 liters of beer.
Therefore, if you only drink beer, you will not gain weight. Many people tend to gain weight not because of drinking beer, but because they eat meat while drinking, which is easy to cause weight gain.
3. Vegetarianism
Although vegetarian diets have fewer calories than meat diets, it is not necessary to be completely vegetarian during the weight loss period.
Because some essential nutrients need us to eat a little meat. Especially protein, if you are vegetarian, it is best to eat some soy products to supplement protein.
