Fitness Nation Forum

I used to think carbs were the enemy. Once I started eating rice and potatoes again, I actually had more energy and my workouts improved.

For years I avoided eating after 7 PM because I thought it automatically caused weight gain. Turns out total calories matter a lot more than the clock.

I believed fat made you fat, so I bought every "low-fat" product I could find. Most of them were packed with sugar.

I thought I needed protein shakes after every workout. They're convenient, but regular food works just as well for me most of the time.

I thought skipping meals would help me lose weight faster. It usually just made me overeat later in the day.

I used to think more protein was always better. Once I was eating enough, adding extra didn't really change much.

I believed you had to completely cut out desserts to be healthy.

I believed eating healthy meant buying everything organic.

I thought almond milk was healthier than regular milk for everyone.
