4. I have to control myself until the weekend
Truth. The control in feeding should be maintained even at the weekend, as keeping the line during the week and having free meals on days off will leave the metabolism more confusing, and all the calories lost will be replenished.
Remember that your body does not stop and does not know what day of the week it is, so try to keep healthy habits to the fullest every day, which does not mean that from time to time you can not eat something with more sugar or fat. The important thing is the balance.
5. Get without eating, lose weight
MYTH. Staying out of food for long or skipping meals confuses the body and slows metabolism, making it harder to lose weight.

The main disadvantages of drinking liquids in meals are to make digestion difficult and encourage more food, because having something to drink makes you chew less, and the feeling of satiety takes longer.
So if you only consume water or natural juice in small amounts and have no problems with reflux or poor digestion, drinking liquids during meals will not be a problem.
