Myths of Calorie-Burning

by | Sep 8, 2018

Sweating means you’re burning tons of calories

The rate at which you sweat and the amount you sweat depends on many factors outside of your actual workout. People sweat at different rates, depending on their fitness level, air temperature, and humidity. Typically, fit people tend to sweat quickly because their systems are more efficient at cooling them down.

Vegetables have negative calories

The concept goes something like this: some veggies are so low in calories that they require more energy to digest than they contain. Eating celery, cucumbers or iceberg lettuce can give you a “negative calorie balance.” Sounds great in theory, but “the calories you need for digestion won’t ever exceed the number of calories any type of food contains. However, these non-starchy, low-calorie veggies can still help you lose weight since their fiber and water content will keep you feeling full for longer. So go ahead and pile them on generously when you hit the salad bar for lunch.

 All calories are created equal


  Sex burns tons of calories

According to many articles claim that sexual intercourse can burn hundreds of calories, but in reality, the energy expended isn’t that impressive. researchers found that, the average session of sex lasts six minutes and would account for 21 calories burned from sex along for a man or just 14 calories more than he would have burned watching TV for six minutes.

To lose weight workout daily

Hitting the gym every day is not only an unrealistic goal, but it’s also unnecessary, even if you’re trying to lose weight. Your total energy expenditure (calories burned) during the week is what counts. Strive for activity five days a week for 30 minutes, and aim for burning 1,250 to 3,000 calories a week depending on your goals. Balance out days of less activity by eating a bit less on those days.
