Myth 1: Carbohydrates are bad
Carbohydrates are the primary fuel for your brain and muscles. The question is not how few you eat, but which ones: vegetables, legumes, and whole grains are fundamentally different from refined sugars.
Myth 2: Fat makes you fat
Fat has 9 kcal per gram versus 4 for carbohydrates and protein, more calorie-dense, not automatically worse. Avocado, nuts, and olive oil are essential for hormone balance and cell membranes.
Myth 3: Breakfast is the most important meal
Intermittent fasting and late breakfasts work well for many people. There is no evidence that skipping breakfast damages your metabolism. Eat when you are hungry, not out of habit.
What actually works?
A pattern you can sustain. More vegetables and legumes. Less ultra-processed food. Not a diet, a lifestyle.
