Common Myths: FoodCereals are the best breakfast foodsWRONG! Cereals like corn flakes are nutritionally not very valuable. They are easily digested and quickly converted to sugar. In many people satisfaction only lasts for a very short time, causing severe hunger feelings by morning tea time. This makes you prone to poor food choices. Salad dressings have to be avoided at all cost WRONG! The French are a prime example of how salads can be used to reduce the impact of rich food. In the French eating culture there will not be a meal without a big salad for starters - with dressing. Dressings make salads much more tasty and attractive and the vitamins, fibre, volume and appetite suppressing effects of the salad are much more of an upside than the small downside of the dressing, when there is only a small amount of it stuck to the salad anyway. Dressings made with olive oil are an excellent choice as it has many beneficial effects on your health! Get advice on best practice! When trying to lose weight it does not matter what you eat, so long as you restrict the calories. WRONG! Every food triggers certain metabolic reactions, foods interact with each other, they interact with our body and many foods have medicinal functions. There is much more to food than just calories. A diet that works for me should work for my partner too. WRONG! There is a huge number of variables in the human metabolism. While food digestion indergoes the same digestive processes in most healthy people, there are many other factors that can vary greatly between individuals. This can cause a diet to work well in you and fail totally in your partner. There is no one size fits all type diet. |
