I was undisciplined by birth, never would I bend, even in my tender youth, to a rule. It was at home I learned the little I know. Schools always appeared to me like a prison, and never could I make up my mind to stay there, not even for four hours a day, when the sunshine was inviting, the sea smooth, and when it was joy to run about the cliffs in the free air, or to paddle in the water. — Claude Monet

Eat MORE Carbs, Not Less — Dispelling a Deadly Dietary Myth

Eeks! The South Beach Diet and the Atkins Diet are still popular! I can hardly believe it, but every time I am out in a public location where food is being served, I still hear about the dangers of carbohydrates (menus even cater to this fear). Scarily, I’ve even heard people lately say that having high cholesterol is actually good for health! This is one of the worst myths that I’ve heard in a long time.

The Myth: Carbohydrates make people fat.

The Fact: Carbohydrates are the best foods that humans can put into their bodies. They do not cause obesity. It just isn’t physically possible. It is the processing of carbohydrates and the toppings that are commonly put on them that cause weight gain and poor nutrition.
