SPOT THE FATTENING FOODS (facts and fallacies)

Here are some common fallacies about fattening foods and the real facts are 
  spotted out.
          
key word : fallacy= a false belief or a wrong idea.




FALLACY: Grapefruit will burn body fat.
FACT:Grapefruit has been the main ingredient in several "miracle"
           reducing plans.It's a fine food ,with relatively few calories
           plenty of vitamin C ,but it does not burn fat.unfortunately,
           no such fat-burning food has been discovered.

FALLACY:Bannanas are fattening.
FACT: Compared with an apple or orange, a banana has more carbohydates:
            yet the average banana has only 60 calories.
            A medium apple or orange has about 50 calories.

FALLACY:"Sugar-free" foods have fewer calories than those with sugar.
 FACT:  A product can claim to be made without sugar(sucrose) yet be loaded
             with other kinds of sweeteners that have about as many calories as sugar.
             Corn syrup, molasses and fructose are all high-calorie substitutes.when
              you buy something that says it has been made without sugar, check the list
              of ingredients and compare the calorie count with a similar product made
              with sugar.

FALLACY: Margarine has fewer calories than butter.
FACT:By law both butter and margarine must have the same fat content of 80℅,so
          you end up with the same amount of calories (about 100 per tablespoon ) for
          either butter or margarine. Diet margarines have about half as much fat and
          more water, and therefore fewer calories.

FALLACY: Foods like celery and apples have "negative calories" because of the energy
                  needed to chew and digest them.

FACT:A calorie is a calorie, whether you're eating apples or strawberry shortcake. An           
           average-size person burns only 0.3 additional calories per minute while eating.
           That means  a five-calorie stalk of celery would have to be chewed for 17 minutes
            to have no caloric value. you may have better things to do.

  FALLACY: Using "non-dairy" cream substitutes or dessert toppings  saves calories.

  FACT: Sorry. Non-dairy creams and toppings have more calories per tablespoon than
              milk itself, since most of them are made with coconut oil, which has the highest
              saturated-fat content of any vegetable oil.

 FALLACY:Your stomach shrinks as you diet.

  FACT:When you diet successfully, you get used to eating less food .your stomach stays
              the same.





tip- perform exercise with dieting give good result in fat burning. 20 to 30 min per day     
       exercise is enough to give you better result but proper diet,and rest is also required.
