Titbit: Eggs are good, very good
I have posted bits and pieces on this before, but I came across this on Askmen under the heading of “Busting common nutrition myths”.
Don’t forget the main heading is “Busting common nutrition myths”. That makes the heading below make more sense. I have cut and pasted this so the suspect phrasing and punctuation is theirs—not mine.
The last paragraph is interesting. Anyone who has listened to the 4HB diet CDs will know that the recommended breakfast for losing weight is comprised of eggs, bacon, beans, and sausages, and the main things to steer clear of are cereals and anything involving bread.
Also, three years ago when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, as part of my sessions with the dietician I was advised to increase the number of eggs I consumed a week. She was very firm in the view that two eggs per week is not sufficient and that I should aim for five.
For anyone interested in the other nine ‘busted’ myths identified in the Askmen article they are [the capitalisation is theirs]:
Saturated Fat is Bad For You
- Everybody Should be Eating Grains
- High Protein Diets are Bad For Your Bones and Kidneys
- Low-Fat Foods Are Good For You
- Carbs Should Be Your Biggest Source of Calories [I think we all know now that this is complete bunkum]
- High Omega-6 Seed and Vegetable Oils Are Good For You
- Sugar is Unhealthy Because it Contains “Empty” Calories
- High-Fat Foods Will Make You Fat
Remember as you read this list that it is a list of ‘busted myths’, meaning that everyone of those statements is wrong.
Both screen captures above will link you over the the Australian edition of Askmen. If you search for “nutrition myths” the above article should be the top hit.
