The top 10 diet myths!

#10 White rice is like eating sugar 
This is so damn stupid! Yes, white rice is a carbohydrate but its not a simple carb, so it takes longer to break down. It has less fibre and all over goodness than it's brown counterpart, but it's not THAT bad. Eat in moderation.


#9 Meat is bad for you
Damn hippies! meat is freakin' awesome for you, anyone that disagrees is a twat! beef, lamb, pork are some of the best natural sources of protein you can wrap your lips around. Then there's the vitamins like B12 which you can't get from tofu and vinegar. The benefits of meat are endless.


#8 Egg yolks are evil cholesterol balls
Heart foundation: "Did you know that blood cholesterol levels are more influenced by the saturated and trans fat we eat than the cholesterol in foods? That's why it's OK to eat eggs" .


#7 Low fat foods wont make you fat
Before you chow down a 6 pack of 99% fat free yoghurt cups, take a look at the sugar content. Just because they cut the fat out of foods, doesn't mean they don't pack it choc full of sugar to satisfy the tastebuds.


#6 Raw eggs are good for you
You are not Rocky! Egg protein is better absorbed when It's cooked & You can still get food poisoning from an egg. Cook the bastard!


#5 Fruit is great on a fat loss diet
Fruit = sugar, sugar = fat. Ok it's not that simple, Fruit is great in moderation, it has fibre, vitamins & antioxidants, but It also has allot of natural sugars. Eat in moderation.


#4 Fasting or crash dieting will lose more fat faster!
Your body is a complex organism which adapts to its environment. If you starve yourself or only eat a very small amount of calories every day, your body will soon start to panic. What happens when your body freaks out and thinks your starving?? It stores as much fat as possible to keep you alive! You have to find a healthy calorie deficit that's not too extreme.  


#3 Eating before bed will make you fat
It doesn't really matter what time of day you consume your calories. It only matters how many calories you consume per day.


#2 You have to eat 6 small meals per day
It doesn't matter how many times you eat per day. it only matters that you eat your required proteins fats and carbs, and not go into calorie surplus.


#1 Carbohydrates will make you fat
Carbohydrates will not make you fat! too many calories are the only thing that will make you fat.
