Myth. Calories are caloriesand if you eat more than
you are able to burn off ina day, it will inevitably leadto weight gain. If you eat a

The microwave has had its share ofcriticism over the years. The
microwave gets the last laughbecause this convenient way to heat
your food is completely fine and itdoesn’t make the food less
nutritious. It does cause broccoli tolose its sulforaphane, but
sulforaphane can be killed inbroccoli by cooking it in any way.The microwave isn’t the only one
doing damage, cooking vegetablesin anyway will take away some of
the nutrients it had when it was raw.

Just because a food is high in fat doesn’t mean itshould be avoided. Foods high in fat includeavocados and almonds. These high-fat foods
shouldn’t necessarily be eaten in large quantitieshowever, they shouldn’t be avoided either.
Beyond that, all fats are not created equal. Forexample, monounsaturated fats are far better foryou than trans fat. Like every other food, it’s all
about moderation.
