    You need to eat plenty of healthy grains! No you don't--there not that nutrient dense, and by not eating them your not missing any nutrients you couldn't get from meat, fish, veggies, fruit, nuts and tubers.

    Ok - so I am admitting ignorance here.......I didn't actually know about the omega 3 and 6 ratios, I just had to google it to find out why omega 6 is bad.

    Thank you :) Might just have to tweak a few things in my lifestyle overhaul!!!!

    Not sure if this is a myth (I believe they've done studies).

    Eating the pips of apples will make a tree grow out of your head!!! (I still spit them out).

    "Don't eat after a certain hour" is my favorite. I've even seen it on here.

    I didn't know we all turned into Fat Gremlins when fed after midnight.

    don't eat after 8pm, fruit is bad for you because there's sugar in it, and eggs are bad because they contain a little cholesterol! what?!
