Food Lies!

Let's be honest, how many of these lies do you believe? I have been guilty of number one and number four. I actually didn't think I needed to eat so much to keep my metabolism up (isn't there some rule though about eating breakfast and metabolism?) I was eating frequently to keep blood sugars up. I used to have a problem with hypoglycemia because I was eating way, way too many carbs! I manage it with a healthy, low carb (read healthy carb) diet.

My reason for number four - the bag was almost empty - was because I hated putting an almost, but not quite empty package back in the cupboard. Now, if the package is almost empty but I've measured out my serving, I just throw it away. I know, I'm wasting food, but buying into the "must clean your plate" mentality has not helped our waist sizes. Another thing that helps is that I seldom eat anything that comes in a package as it is more than likely some overly processed and non-nutritious food.

So read the list, see where you are and let me know what you think! Do you have other lies you tell yourself about food?
