What is a Diet Myth You Totally Bought Into? --

ROFL. I loved the caramel rice cakes. With a cup of peanut butter they were even better. And anyways peanut butter is a protein right? Nutella was also very good on top of really any rice cake.

When I realized how many calories were in the rice cakes I started buying the small ones. Because THAT was way better.

OH -- Nutella!! HAHAHAHAHA. That's healthy because it's made from hazelnuts!! It's basically health food.

Thankfully, I'd stopped my Nutella addiction a few years ago because of the palm oil. My love for orangoutangs outweighed my love of cocoa sugar. lol.

Cheez Whiz. Totally a protein.

It amazes me how often the 'starvation mode' shtick is still touted by doctors/nutritionists.

I tried so many things over the years, the rice cakes too....but the one that makes me laugh is the juicing. I got this ridiculously expensive juicer and I was all ready to commit to a healthier me. I don't remember the exact recipe I tried but it was something with cucumber and celery, along with some spinach and I may have even thrown some kale in there for good measure. The end result looked like something that belonged at the bottom of the port-a-potty and tasted absolutely vile. I gagged about half of it down and sold the juicer shortly thereafter.

I believed the myth that there are "good" foods and "bad" foods until about a year ago when I finally made friends with food. Now I finally get that, for me, the issue was just too much food. No that I only need 60 grams of protein I can eat a modest amount of pretty much anything with my protein.

I'm going to reveal my age with this one: Ayds (I think that was what the "candy" that was supposed to curb your appetite was called). I would eat a whole box of those babies at one sitting!

Oh I remember Ayds candy...I was in 6th or 7th grade and was given them by my parents to try and help me lose weight. They didn't work so I ended up at fat camp.

That's horrible!

My mother used to buy those! I would sneak them when I was a kid. I was never hungry for supper--I never made the connection. What's worse? My mother never did either. LOL

I remember those! Never had them, though...
