Diet Myth #6: Carbs are bad (or fat is bad)

October 22nd, 2007, 9:03 pm · 7 Comments · posted by Michelle May, M.D.

Do you sometimes feel like nutrition is a moving target? Do you remember when fat was the enemy and pasta was good for you? How about when we were supposed to eat margarine instead of butter - and none of us had even heard of transfat?

This “good food-bad food” thinking is not only confusing, it makes certain foods special. When foods are forbidden, you may begin to feel deprived and think about them even more than you did before. Worse yet, healthy foods become a four-letter word: DIET.

The truth is all foods fit into a healthy diet. Instead of restricting an entire food group, simply use the principles of balance, variety and moderation to guide you. No guilt, no compensetory overeating. You’ll always be right on target.
