Hello, my name is Gregory. When I was a young lad, I had to enter the health care world in an unexpected way. I developed a serious disease out of the blue that took doctors by surprise. I went through so many different testing procedures before my doctors could diagnose the rare disease. Everyone around me reeled as they tried to understand the purpose and process of the diagnostic tests. I hope to help others understand these important tests better through this website. Please come by often to learn all you need to know about medical diagnostics and working closely with health care professionals.

3 Weight Loss Myths, Debunked
Nanja Bongers
Carrying an excess amount of weight not only affects your health. In most cases, being overweight can also affect your emotional wellness and self-esteem. Fortunately, help is available if you are trying to reduce your weight and live a healthier lifestyle. Believing a few common myths about weight loss can reduce your ability to lose weight in an effective and efficient manner, though. By learning the truth behind these myths, you will have a better chance of success with your weight loss.
Cutting Calories Is Only Way to Lose Weight
One of the most common myths people believe is that you NEED to cut calories to lose weight. Although beneficial to some, a low-calorie diet is not the only option to consider when you are trying to lose weight.
Many effective diets focus on cutting carbohydrates instead of cutting calories. By reducing the amount of carbs, such as breads, pasta, cookies, cakes, fruit, and any food or ingredient that contains flour or sugar, you can place your body into a state of ketosis, which helps your body burn fat.
Even though they can be difficult to maintain long-term, low-carb diets can be more effective than low-calorie diets.
Of course, not every diet plan is right for every person. Therefore, you should consult a weight loss professional to help you determine which option is right for your health and lifestyle
You Need to Feel Hunger to Lose Weight
Another common myth people believe is that hunger must be a part of your life if you want to lose weight. Again, this is a myth that needs to be addressed, since you really do not have to suffer to lose weight.
Lean proteins and salads may be low in calories and low in carbohydrates, but they are also more fulfilling especially when compared to a few slices of pizza or a bowl of pasta.
To lose weight in a healthy manner, focus on quality over quantity. When you eat real foods, whether they are low in calories or low in carbs, you will experience less hunger.
Losing Weight Fast Is Best
Research has shown the faster you lose weight, the more likely you are to put the weight back on. Experts believe a healthy and successful weight loss should consist of losing no more than 1 or 2 pounds per week.
In most cases, you did not gain the weight overnight, so it is ridiculous to think you can lose the weight overnight. Do not feel anger or disappointment when stepping on the scale and not losing more each day or week, since you need to be realistic with your weight-loss goals.
