I have to pay attention to my diet for the rest of my life

Fact. You have the ability to become fat and once you are slimmed down, it is not the case that you automatically stay slim. You will have to keep eating healthy for the rest of your life and keep moving a lot to stay on weight. If you go back to your old diet, the lost kilos will be there again.

Drinking a lot is important when losing weight

Fact. Drinking a lot is important to ensure that waste products produced during weight loss are quickly removed from your body. In addition, drinking a lot is also important if you get a lot of fiber, otherwise, the fibers will stick in your intestines and you may suffer from constipation. Water (or tea) is best to drink.

I can not weigh it too often

Fact . Your weight can vary greatly during the week. This is caused by your diet, exercise, the weather and in women hormones also play an important role. That is why it is best to weigh once a week. Always do this on the same day and at the same time, then your image is the most reliable. If you really want it, you can also weigh daily. Keep in mind fluctuations in your weight. You will notice after a while that this is normal.

I can not eat after 8 pm

Fable. This is a very famous fable. Eating in the evening does not make you fat! It concerns the total intake over the entire day. The time at which you eat is not important. You get fat from eating more than you consume.

Unexplained loss of weight always take seriously  

Losing weight without having to eat differently, exercising more or going lines sounds very attractive, but you still have to take the inexplicable loss of weight seriously. It can indicate that something is wrong with your body.Losing weight without doing anything or late can indicate type 1 diabetes. This type often occurs when you are a child, but you can still get it at any age. An overactive thyroid gland can also be a reason to lose weight. And forty percent of people with cancer also mentioned weight loss as one of the first symptoms.

How is it that I waste?

Perhaps you have changed something in your life, so that your weight falls automatically. For example, you have taken a dog so that you can move more. Or you go through a stressful period (a divorce, relocation or exam) so you have less appetite. Or you're sick.

Lose weight if you are sick

It is possible that your weight loss is caused by an underlying disease. Because of that disease your body consumes more energy or you lose calories because you are sick or have diarrhea. Also, illness can lead to less appetite than normal

Ill? Keep your weight up

When weight loss due to illness, it is important to keep your muscle mass up to standard. That is why proteins are now the most important building material. If you also take sufficient calories and also move, the body can use these proteins to make extra muscle tissue. Of course that is difficult, especially if you feel sick, weak and tired. But it is really worth it. More nutrition and exercise means more energy, less fatigue and new strength to recover

Three types of reactions

The fact that 35 kg of weight loss is being responded to is not surprising, but one reaction is a lot nicer than the other. According to Willeke, three types of people react to your weight loss: the scanners, the critics and the enthusiastic people.

"The scanners look at you from head to toe and then back again, but then say nothing at all.I was with someone recently, I was shamelessly examined, but the woman in question did not say anything", says Willeke.
