One day, carbs are the enemy. Next, they’re essential.
Some people say you need six meals a day, while others swear by fasting.
Eating healthy can feel confusing, especially with all the myths floating around in recent times.
So, what’s the truth? Let’s break it down and walk you through what you really need to know about nutrition.
-
Myth #1: Carbs Are Bad for You
Like…
Most people are assured that all carbs cause weight gain.
But here’s the truth, not all carbs are created equal.
Bad carbs include processed foods like sugary cereals and white bread. While good carbs include whole foods like brown rice, quinoa, and sweet potatoes.
Your body needs carbs for energy. The essential thing still remains choosing the right ones.
-
Myth #2: Eat Small Meals Every Few Hours
Have you ever read a research paper that says eating six small meals a day speeds up metabolism?
Not really, science says otherwise.
What matters most is what and how much you eat.
It’s your total daily intake that counts whether you eat three big meals or six small ones.
-
Myth #3: Fat Makes You Fat
Not really!
You know, healthy fats from avocados, nuts, and olive oil help your body absorb vitamins and keep you full longer.
It’s the processed fats in junk food that cause weight gain.
-
Myth #4: Late-Night Eating Leads to Weight Gain
Does eating late automatically make you gain weight?
No, it doesn’t.
But overeating and choosing unhealthy snacks. If you’re hungry at night, go for a protein-rich snack like greek yogurt or nuts, not unhealthy snacks.
-
Myth #5: Detox Teas and Cleanses Remove Toxins
Your liver and kidneys are a built-in detox system in your body.
No need for expensive detox teas!
The best way to cleanse? Drink water, eat fiber-rich foods, and avoid too much processed junk. Don’t stress about it.
