9 Healthy Eating Myths That Will Ruin Your Diet...
Dear Reader,
If you're planning to lose weight after the holidays, you know how important eating healthily is to your goal. The problem is, there are changes you might be encouraged to make by well meaning friends or relatives that don't help you reach that goal, and might actually make things worse! Here are some of the most common diet misconceptions and the truth about each of them.
1. Two percent milk is much lower in fat than whole milk. While this one sounds good, the truth is that 2% milk isn't all that much lower in fat than the whole milk beside it in the dairy case. Whole milk has 3% fat. To be considered low fat, a food must have 3 grams of fat (or less) per serving, and the 2% variety of milk brings a hefty 4.9 grams of fat with each serving.
2. Brown eggs are healthier. Sadly, when it comes to eggs, the color of the shell has nothing to do with the nutritional value of the inside. Brown and white-shelled eggs are the same in terms of nutrition, but the brown ones generally cost more. Instead, choose brands that mention omega-3 fats on the labels (typically a part of the hen's feed). You'll pay more, but you'll actually be getting something of value for your money.
3. Turkey bacon has less fat/sodium than traditional bacon. Although turkey is leaner than pork to start, that's misleading in terms of the end product. You need to look at what's been added to make the turkey taste like the pork bacon we all know (and love). Generally the salt, fat and calories of the two kinds are virtually the same, though some turkey varieties can be higher. You'll want to shop around, read labels carefully to find brands that are truly lower in salt and fat.
4. Fresh produce is always a better choice than frozen. Frozen is a great option when the fresh varieties of your favorites are out of season. Think about this, when you buy out of season, you're buying items that have been transported and stored, and thus have lost some of their nutrient value. Frozen fruits and veggies are frozen at their peak ripeness. Look for a brand that doesn't add sugar, or any mix that is loaded with sauce. If you must buy canned, choose the low salt varieties for veggies, and look for fruits packed in natural juices. Rinsing canned veggies under cold water also cuts down on the sodium before you cook.
5. Salad is always a low calorie choice. A staple of diets, salads are quite often a delicious, good for you option, but not always the low calorie meal you think. Not after you load on meat (grilled or crispy) or the creamy dressing, now you're taking in loads of extra calories along with those greens. Opt for the dressings with less fat, such as balsamic vinaigrette or Italian, and have them on the side, so you can control the amount you take in. To keep calories in check, avoid toppings like croutons, bacon, cheese or anything crispy, as they are sure to have more calories and fat then you want.
6. Margarine is better than butter. This is not a new debate, but what you need to understand is that depending on the type of margarine you buy, you could be using something that's even worse for you than butter. Margarine is made with trans fats that raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol and lower the good (HDL) kind. A pat of butter (half a tablespoon) is just 45 calories and has no trans fats. If you simply must have your margarine, look for brands made with plant stanols as a healthier alternative.

7. Switching to juice from soda saves on sugar. While no one
will argue that cutting back on your soda intake is good, drinking juice isn't
always an improvement in terms of your weight. A can of soda has almost the same
amount of sugar as a cup of unsweetened apple or orange juice. And while 100%
fruit juice can bring you many good things (vitamins, minerals and antioxidants)
too much can add inches to the waistline. Limit yourself to no more than 8 ounces
of 100% fruit juice a day and drink refreshing, no calorie water more often.
8. Reduced fat peanut butter is healthier. Not so. The reduced
fat variety of peanut butter isn't necessarily a better, healthier choice. There's
more sugar and sodium added to improve the taste and shelf life of the reduced
fat content product. Read the fine print on the labels as many of these products
contain trans fatty acids or partially hydrogenated oils and really aren't all
that good for you... certainly no better than limiting your intake of the regular
kind of peanut butter.
9. Swapping frozen yogurt for ice cream will save calories. You
might think because it's yogurt, it has to be healthier, but then you eat more
of it, taking in just as many calories as if you'd had the ice cream in the first
place. There are actually some brands of frozen yogurt that have nearly double
the calories of a light, slow churned ice cream. Your best bet is to read labels
and watch those portion sizes.
To your good health,
