When you decide to start a healthy diet, either to lose weight or to increase your muscle mass, you may hear various stereotypical rules and advice.
Nutritional advice varies, because quite simply every body works differently and has different needs. We, however, mention below in general, the 6 worst diet tips you may have heard.

Fats are fattening and spoil your balanced diet
A generalization that definitely earns a place among the worst diet advice. It depends on the fat you consume. If you eat highly processed foods too often, for example, their fats can increase your cholesterol. But there is also the good fat, which you find in foods that are essential for the proper functioning of your heart and your immune system, such as avocados, nuts and salmon.
Cut the carbs
Can excessive consumption of white bread and rice be responsible for weight gain. However, there is no research to prove that whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes negatively affect your health or weight. On the contrary, a diet that includes the above has a positive effect on your body as a whole.

Don’t snack
Eating small amounts is a great way to curb hunger, control portion sizes, and make better food choices. According to ladylike, healthy snacks that will benefit your health and give you energy during the day are nuts, fruit, a cereal bar or your yogurt. 3-4 a day is ideal.

You burn more calories when you exercise fasted
Not eating before starting exercise will not affect your calories in any way. But it will help you lose muscle mass. And before you answer that you can consume an energy drink, let us inform you that this can be harmful if you drink it on an empty stomach.

Watch your diet during the week and relax on the weekends
Doing so might ruin the 5 day effort. If you suddenly eat “heavy” foods, with a lot of calories and consume a lot of alcohol, you will gain the weight that you may have lost in the previous days. Of course, on the weekends you can eat or drink something that you were deprived of the previous days, but in moderation. Drink, for example, a glass of wine or a cocktail, no more.

Fruits are fattening
The sugar in fruit is not fattening, as it is the unprocessed sugar. It would not be right not to eat fruits as they have fiber. Fiber keeps you full and has essential nutrients for the body, which outweighs the concern of the natural sugar you consume when you eat, for example, an apple, a banana or grapes.
