Do I need to drink 2 liters of water per week, about which a couple of years ago, all nutritionists bursting? And to spend three, four, five hours a week in the gym, if you are not an athlete and are not going to become one? We talk about when a healthy lifestyle leads to pathology, dispel myths and tell you why you can not torment yourself.
Do not torture yourself with water
The most important thought: fanatical "tenacity" on any aspect of a healthy lifestyle is almost always harmful, even if it is supposedly aimed at health.
Take the same example with water. Someone once said that you need to drink 2 liters of water per day, and if you don’t do this, then “tobe panda”. And now the crowds of the most notorious and diligent zozhnik-excellent pupils measure the liters with a beaker and choke on this water, trying to fulfill the norm. Moreover, all this is flavored with nonsense from radios (by the way, it seems that they don’t answer for words on the radio) that these 2 liters do not count other liquids - juices, coffee, tea.
And finally, scientists officially check and refute the blizzard about the required 2 liters per day. And the most notorious zozhniki-excellent students (of those who are still reading and thinking) are finally freed from the daily 2 liters, which they far from always poured into themselves with pleasure. And in general, it was necessary to think about the question “is it normal that I choke on something for the sake of health ?!” earlier.
Do not torture yourself with a low-calorie diet
Woe-trainers (among which there are many famous, but stupid and even without any form of fitness gurus) often give their wards a powerful training program (4-5 lessons per week, but even if 3 - this does not change the essence of the matter ) and under the same loads, these fitness ghouls plant gullible beginners at 500-900 kcal per day. As a result, they are at first satisfied that they are losing weight quickly, but so far they have no idea what price they will pay soon.
Read "Why you can not starve for weight loss" - there is all the wisdom. Yes, calories are less than your baseline - this is a starvation diet. When engaged in weight training for weight loss, never keep a calorie deficit from your daily intake of more than 15-20%. And about the gurus who do this to you, write to us - we’ll attach this “blacklist” somewhere later.
Do not torture yourself with training
Any high-performance sport has little to do with a healthy lifestyle. Running is very useful, but running a lot is already harmful. This is what Julia Grebenkina told about her injury, which does not allow her to run anymore. But what happens if one over-runs on power is not science, but how the 40kg community wills.
Therefore, if you are not an elite athlete and are engaged in for yourself, then at least watch out if you have caught the ground. And if your joints hurt after running, listen, maybe they want to convey something important to you?
Do not torture yourself with a percentage of fat
Fitonyashki, reducing the percentage of fat for the sake of the canons of beauty in competitions, do not just pay for this with their health and, in general, a tense and not very pleasant life, but sometimes their whole life. There is no healthy lifestyle in a low percentage of fat (as in a high one, but we are now talking about the other extreme).
You can calculate your percentage of fat here, and determine for yourself what percentage of fat in your body you want, understanding what and how much you are willing to pay for it - Tatyana Prokofieva, the repeated champion in fitness bikini, already told this to Zozhnik.
Do not torture yourself
And again the same thing: the more unhealthy something, the more signals your body gives you. Any extremes brought to the limit, even with the best of intentions, are probably an unhealthy thing for your body.
Remember that you have a life, you can just be happy and be happy, and you don’t need to throw all this joy into the furnace of fitness and mode. If training, eating style and life, in general, have become torture, punishment, retribution for you, then most likely you are already hurting yourself.
If you are not an athlete - do not stop. Take care of yourself for your parents, children and a brighter future. And may the force be with you.
