Growing up, we all heard certain comments from our parents or grandparents regarding the right way to eat. Most of this advice is however wrong. Here are some myths
that need to be dispelled if you want to lose some weight.
1. Finish The Food On Your Plate

portions we eat are often way too large and leaving food on your plate is not going to help the starving kids in Africa.
Stop eating when you are full and you will begin losing weight. This doesn't however mean that you should be wasteful and you can always save your leftovers to eat at
another mealtime.

can lead to weight loss.

as the number one culprit in weight gain and you don't need to eat carbs with every meal.

veg is important to losing weight. Never overcook your food and drink as much raw vegetables as you can.
7. It Is Healthier To Drink Fruit Juice

away from store bought juices which contain added sugar. The healthiest drink is water if you want to shed those pounds
