What did you used to eat…. And what do you now know…

I used to eat yogurt and granola thinking they were healthy elements of a normal diet… I now know they are heavy in sugar and low in nutrients.

Toasted everything bagel with butter for breakfast. I now have hard boiled eggs or cottage cheese or a handful of nuts.

Yogurt and granola are healthy, high in protein and fiber and maybe healthy fats.

Only if it’s plain yogurt and granola with very little sugar. Most commercial granolas have a lot of sugar. If you make your own or use just plain yogurts, oats, and add some honey or maple sugar and fruit, then it’s healthy.

I eat yoga and granola and I’m healthy and thin.

I used to eat very little, obsessing over every calorie and trying to be “good,” which led me to over correct and binge. It is only when I stopped depriving myself and started nourishing myself that I lost weight permanently.

I was eating nothing but junk really. Lots of Chipotle and frozen pizzas. Starbucks drinks and chocolate croissants. The healthiest thing I'd eat would be picking up Sweetgreen at lunch.

Now I'm on keto and my anxiety is gone and the GI issues I've had for years are totally gone (that was interesting, because I thought the issue was the dairy ... I guess not, it's the sugar or the gluten or something). I have not, however, lost any weight. Sad face. Still worth it to me to stay on it though.

Oat milk...now no "milks" at all. They're all nasty and full of junk and sugar.

First semester of college I would grab two big blueberry muffins on my way to class. I still had my teenage metabolism then.

Used to eat lots of rice, some meat, and some veggies. Now I flip the portions: lots of veggies, lean proteins, and a little bit of carbs.

That’s a strong “that depends.”

Granola is often high in sugar. Pllain/Greek yogurt isn’t the problem. Personally, I never eat after my 5 o’clock dinner.

Same here. And along the same lines it took a long time for me to realize that the "diet" or "low fat" or "sugar free" foods really weren't that great for you.

Used to eat low fat carbs. Now try to mostly eat vegetables and protein and other whole foods.
