Healthy Eating Misconceptions

There are many false believes about healthy eating like 
  • I'll be starving if I eat healthy.
  • Healthy meal planning means budget imbalance.
  • I have to incorporate low calorie / low fat / sugar free processed products in my plate.
  • Only vegetables are healthy and I love meat.

Healthy eating doesn't mean eating less portions but eating in balance. Place fruits and vegetables in leading role supported by a cast of whole grains, protein rich foods like sea food, chicken, lean meat, cheese etc. 

Example of healthy plate

Do not eliminate fats completely. Fat is satiating, cutting it too much can lead to constant hunger. Avoiding fat led to overeating refined carbs and sugar, which ultimately increased calorie intakes.
Have a look at these pictorial illustrations and think again are you really going to starve with healthy choices?


Junk food is temporarily satisfying. It only provides empty calories and virtually no nutritional benefits. 



"Because we are what we eat, we can literally transform our bodies and minds by choosing inspiring diet."
