Good eating habits are essential to achieve progress in our figure and fitness. This is necessary to rule out false myths and inadvisable diets. In addition you can not achieve good habits overnight but it is necessary to suppress the bad patterns.

Diets false, false myths
Wanting a beautiful body quickly makes people opt for the dubious methods that we can find on the internet or in magazines, "These methods, or as it is popularly called 'miracle diets', 'Out diets' they are unbalanced, pose less energy input, are deficient in minerals and vitamins, and monitoring involves risk of micronutrient deficiencies, with consequent disorders organic and metabolic. In addition, many of them lose water, protein and muscle but not fat"She says Dr. Mafé.
Another false myth that we must discard is the belief that drinking water during or after meals fattening, totally false, because water has no calories and therefore never fattening, or skipping meals thins: the only consequence of this is to increase anxiety and encourage snacking. Eat bread or eat fruit after fattening foods: bread belongs to the group of carbohydrates, essential in a healthy diet or take the fruit has the same calories before, during or after meals.
