Myths

MYTH – If I’m exercising, then I can eat whatever I like.

FACT-Exercising regularly doesn’t give you a free pass to pig out. Sure it’s fine to indulge every now and then, but eating junk all the time will hinder your workouts and your health, no matter how much you train. Remember it’s about being healthy on the inside too. The best foods to fill you up when you are trying to lose weight are unrefined and low or moderate on the glycaemic index, such as porridge, pasta, noodles, couscous, pulses, sweet potatoes, basmati rice. They effectively control hunger as they are absorbed slowly into the blood stream and help to maintain your blood sugar.
