Top 5 weight loss mistakes – Rostyslav Yatsun

Inability to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy foods.
Examples: muesli, natural yogurt, packaged juice.
These foods provide the body with pure sugar, but what is needed is complex carbohydrates and fructose.

Refusal of fats and carbohydrates.
A person does not gain weight from fats and carbohydrates, but from an excess of calories. Therefore, for comfortable weight loss, it is important to maintain a calorie deficit and a balance of BJU, and not to exclude fats and carbohydrates from the diet.

⠀
❗️Carbohydrate intake per day for an average person: 45 – 65% of total food calories.
❗️Fat intake: 20-30% of total food calories.⠀

Lack of sleep. Lack of sleep provokes weight gain. When you don’t get enough sleep, your body produces more ghrelin, a hunger hormone that stimulates appetite and makes it harder to lose weight, and less leptin, which signals the brain that you are full.

Taking fat-burning pills. Appetite suppressants prevent the absorption of nutrients, especially fat-soluble vitamins D, E, and A.
Consequences: hair loss, skin and dental problems, nervousness, insomnia, addiction. When these drugs are discontinued, the weight returns.
The idea that smoking helps you lose weight faster is wrong.
Smoking does not reduce appetite, does not affect the weight loss process, and makes a person more lethargic and lazy, which means less active.
