1) The muscles turn into fat if you do not do sports regularly
Demystifying: This is not true. The fact is that muscles and fat are two completely different tissues which are two completely different things.

Muscle tissue is specialized with the ability to conduct electrical impulses and relax or contract, which allows us to move.

The adipose tissue, also called adipose tissue, their function is energy storage. The location of adipose tissue determines its type. Thus, visceral fat is the fatty tissue around the abdominal area beneath the abdominal muscles. The subcutaneous fat lies just under the skin in various parts of the body.

What is important to know is that muscle and fat are 2 different types of tissues that do 2 different jobs. So it is physically impossible that the muscle turns to fat, or fat turns into muscle.

If you stop playing sports, your muscles will atrophy and lose their tone, but they will not turn into fat. Similarly, if you stop doing sport but keep eating, your body will store more fat while muscle mass decreases.

2) weight training makes women too muscular
Demystifying: No, not that much. When it is necessary to muscle, women lack testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone that facilitates the natural affinity of people to develop muscle mass.
That said, some people tend to add muscle mass faster than they can burn fat. This could result in development of the muscles at the beginning. But continuing to play sports and follow a balanced diet, excess fat goes and toned muscles are more apparent.

This is a features 10 ways to consume fewer calories:

1) Eat only half a crescent. And try to buy croissants made with whole grains, you will be filled faster and more healthily.

2) The orange juice is good, but eating an orange is even better.

3) Eat bacon or turkey sausage rather than the traditional versions.

4) Request to remove the butter when you order pancakes or waffles.

5) Blot the fat of fried foods (leaving them on paper towels for example, the fat will be absorbed by the paper) and will reduce up to 30% of calories from food).

6) Eat the smaller muffin at the bakery (or better yet buy an English muffin).

7) Thicken the sauce with cream or evaporated skim milk instead of cream or butter.

Eat eggs poached instead of fried eggs.

9) Use of cheese without fat or reduced fat as soon as possible (and Emphasize strong cheeses because you’ll more easily satisfied because the flavor).

10) Sipping milkshakes yoghurt instead of milk shakes with ice cream.

You have borne a child for 9 months and it is quite normal for your extra pounds do not fly away overnight. Do not let them settle for the same.

We are not tied to the pounds, including to those accumulated during pregnancy. If we consider that a weight gain of 11 to 13 kg is normal, some women are very thin, sometimes up to 18 kg, they can also lose it again quickly after the birth of their child. Some women gain less weight, but found their hard line.

Recuperate

If you breastfeed your needs are almost identical to those of the end of your pregnancy. Care must be taken to provide sufficient unsaturated fatty acids essential for neurological development of your child and bring 1 to 1.2 g of calcium per day. Rest assured, you have a keener appetite than other moms, but breast-feeding promotes nevertheless “long term” melting fat stored during pregnancy.

Whether you give your baby the breast or not, do not set goals unattainable. Remember that if you lose weight too quickly you will recover very quickly these curves. In addition, an unbalanced diet exhausts you physically, and then you need to regain strength, especially if your pregnancy and childbirth have been difficult.

Finally, dealing with daily baby requires a lot of energy. That does not mean you should let the pounds take hold, especially if you were already overweight before pregnancy!

Objective: two pounds per month

Get your act together at the birth of your little cherub in arming you with patience and by following advice:

• Needless to focus on calories (avoid all of the same fatty foods and / or sweet). Attach yourself rather to the nutritional value of foods you eat. In opting for a balanced and healthy diet you lose weight;
• Do not skip meals. Prepare a hearty breakfast (bread and wholemeal bread with some jam, dairy products, fresh fruit and hot drinks): it is he who lets you take until lunch!
• Increase your intake of fruit and vegetable intake for vitamins and minerals;
• Moderate intake of fat (no more than a tablespoon of oil per meal), without deleting them from your diet. Choose foods steamed or grilled with a little fat for frying;
• Consume 3 or 4 dairy products per day (milk and white cheese skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, yogurt, cheese, not too fat) to fill gaps in calcium associated with pregnancy;
• Make starchy foods at least two meals. Choose whole grains (brown rice, wholemeal bread …), rich in fiber, plus legumes (lentils, chickpeas, soy …). Do not banish carbohydrates from your diet because they are the main source of energy for your body;
• Eat protein at every meal. We know that 30 to 40% of women have iron deficiency after childbirth or meat and fish are rich. In addition, fatty fish, like nuts and nuts contain Omega 3 essential fatty acids which are much needed after pregnancy;
• Drink plenty, especially if you are breast-feeding: water, hot or cold tea, vegetable broth, herbal tea…

Beware blunders!

The baby blues is sometimes accompanied by urges to nibble anything at any time. To avoid these blunders food, plan a balanced meal in the morning and / or afternoon, for example, a yoghurt and two or three biscuits or two pieces of dark chocolate and fruit.

If despite this nutritional advice, you still have a few kilos to lose 6 months after the arrival of baby, consult a physician nutritionist, you build a custom system tailored. And do not forget that once the perineal rehabilitation is complete, you may resume physical activities you muscle.

The research was conducted at the Kansai Medical University Hospital (Japan) over 101 obese patients. Were subjected for 6 months in a therapy combining weight-loss advice, diet and exercise. We conducted a psychosocial profile of the same before and after therapy.

This research, led by Hitomi Saito, has been published in Biopsychosocial Medicine. One of his conclusions was that patients had a higher level of self-orientation and optimism lost less weight than the rest. By contrast, those who could improve their self-awareness through counseling lost weight more easily. These results reinforce findings from previous research indicating that certain negative emotions allow a change of behavior easier to therapy.

It seems that if one is more pessimistic is more worried about the disease and is more permeable to the advice and guidance of professionals, which is not without its logic. Similarly, a higher self-esteem or have a higher opinion of ourselves we would be more reluctant to change or accept and follow certain guidelines from the experts, in this case in terms of weight loss.

It also seems logical. These findings, however, should not be understood as an additional complication, if optimists are overweight or obese. Rather, they should make us more aware that our optimism and / or high self-esteem should not blind us to accept when we have something to improve, and that, for this, we meet and follow the guidelines from the experts.

However, another conclusion of the study is that these characteristics (optimism, self-esteem …) than before treatment could hinder weight loss, develop and increase during therapy. But in this case, serve to maintain and establish the objectives achieved.
