So, let’s be honest—who else has ever side-eyed an avocado, thinking, “Nope, you’re basically butter with a green hat”? 🙋♀️ (Guilty, right here!) Today I sat down in my sunny kitchen with Michael—aka my go-to nutrition myth-buster—and let’s just say I got a MAJOR reality check on all things “healthy eating.”
Myth #1: “Fat makes you fat.”
I admitted I used to dodge guac like it was actual cake. But Michael broke it down: good fats actually help your hormones, and they keep you full, not fluffy. Mind blown.
Myth #2: “Skipping meals equals weight loss.”
Oh, I’ve done this so many times. Turns out, skipping meals may feel clever, but it causes chaos with your metabolism. Instead of burning fat, your body panics. Welp…
Myth #3: “Low-fat = healthy.”
MY WHOLE GROCERY GAME = SHAKEN. Michael explained most “low-fat” packaged foods are loaded with sugar to compensate for the taste, so all those sneaky labels? Not helping my goals after all.
Food marketing is sneaky, but knowledge is power. Now, armed with smoothies (and sanity), we’re choosing mindful eating over fads. Ready to join us and ditch the diet myths for good? Let me know which one YOU believed (it’s a safe space!) 💬👇
