Are You Stuck in 3 Food Myths? by Joan Kent, PhD

 

Many myths about food and nutrition exist, but the 3 below seem to come up over and over.

1. Nutrition is just for weight loss.

Yes, weight loss is the main reason people modify their food. Yes, weight-loss information is available almost everywhere online. Much of it contradicts other weight loss info you’ll find online.

But good nutrition helps with many issues. For example:
• Do you have trouble recovering quickly after workouts?
The right food plan can shift that completely so you’re ready to work out again the next day.

• Do you have high blood pressure, diabetes, pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, or other health problem?
The right food plan can reverse those problems. Really.

• Do you have trouble falling asleep – or staying asleep all night?

The right food tips can help ensure a great night’s sleep.

• Do you need more energy?  Do your moods go up and down?
The right food plan can help you manage and reverse either (or both) of those issues.

• Do you have trouble concentrating?

The right food plan can help you focus and stay productive.

2. Weight loss is just calories in/calories out. I can do it on my own.

You can do many things on your own. That includes decreasing calories. But foods are a lot more than their calories. The hormones they trigger may be much more significant.

It’s not true that all calories are equal. Changing what you eat can often make a bigger difference than decreasing how much.

3. Uh-oh:  It’s too complicated and too hard.

It really doesn’t have to be hard. Small – and easy – changes can produce big results.

But there’s a catch – you have to do it. A good coach can help you make those small changes and get the results you want.
