The Myths

After 4 years trying every fad diet and listening to every expert, fitness instructor, personal trainer, nutritionist and doctor possible tell me what my body needed....I finally took matters into my own hands. Here are some of the myths; 

 1. You cant eat less than 1500 calories a day when you are working out 

2. You cant eat after 6pm in the evening 

3. You must eat 5-6 small meals per day 

4. You have to eat low fat 

5. Weigh your food 6. Count your calories 

7. Plan your weekly menu in advance 

8. Don't grocery shop when you are hungry 

9. Meal times are breakfast, lunch and dinner 

 And the list goes on and on! Why are these myths? Well because these so called rules are 100% wrong for MY body. Unfortunately I spent countless dollars and valuable time before I figured it all out.  

We've been conditioned our entire lives to eating breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Every restaurant menu is displayed this way, and some fast food places only serve breakfast until a specific time.  Once again training us to follow their schedule therefore eating items such as eggs, bacon, ham, granola only in the morning.  

I dont know about you, but when I was growing up we had to eat three meals a day.  Dinner was always served between 5-6pm, and you sat down to eat whether you were hungry or not! And....you were not allowed to leave anything behind on your plate!  Once again being controlled by society's rules.
