Debunking Nutrition Myths

Nutrition myths are often perpetuated on social media, leading to confusion amongst the public. While some claims, such as focusing on whole, unprocessed foods for better satiety, contain grains of truth, they frequently overlook nuances that are crucial for understanding health. The idea that one can eat unlimited amounts of high-quality foods without gaining weight ignores the fundamental principle of caloric intake. Thus, it's essential to recognize that both the quantity and quality of food must be addressed for effective weight management.
