There’s so much advice floating around on what to eat (and not eat), it can be hard to sift out the truth. Here are some facts to help you sort through what you hear.
Food Myths
Myth 1
– Nuts are fattening and you should not eat them if you want to lose weight.
Fact – In small amounts, nuts can be part of a healthy weight-loss program. Nuts are high in calories and fat. However, most nuts contain healthy fats that do not clog arteries. Nuts are also good sources of protein, dietary fiber, and minerals such as magnesium and copper.
Tip – Enjoy small portions of nuts. One-half ounce of mixed nuts has about 84 calories.
Myth 2
– Eating red meat is bad for your health and makes it harder to lose weight.
Fact – Eating lean meat in small amounts can be part of a healthy weight-loss plan. Red meat, pork, chicken, and fish contain some cholesterol and saturated fat (the least healthy kind of fat). They also contain healthy nutrients like protein, iron, and zinc.
Tip – Choose cuts of meat that are lower in fat and trim all visible fat. Lower fat meats include pork tenderloin and beef round steak, tenderloin, sirloin tip, flank steak, and extra lean ground beef. Also, pay attention to portion size. Three ounces of meat or poultry is the size of a deck of cards.
Come back tomorrow for busting more weight loss and nutrition myths.

I like to eat healthy in small portions. The key is eating in small portions. All food is good that God created, but seek the wisdom of God when we eat. Read the ingredient on labors. Your information is good. Peace.
