Myth 3
The more you cut calories, the more weight you'll lose.
Truth: That can actually hurt you.
Cut your calories too far—below 1,200 a day—and you'll end up with a double whammy that quickly decreases your metabolism and muscle mass, Sandon explains. To get the most out of the calories you do eat, she suggests that you choose whole foods such as produce, fresh meat and fish, and whole grains that are as close to their natural state as possible. They have a higher "nutrient density" than refined foods, because they pack more vitamins and minerals into fewer calories.
