There are many things about nutrition that still puzzle me. I think the biggest one, for me, is "starvation mode," and whether it is true or not? What accepted fact or myth still confuses you?
I've learned a lot over the past 15 years, but one thing I wish I knew sooner is that not every calorie you eat gets digested. Fiber, especially, passes right through you. This means that when you eat foods high in fiber, you can feel full without actually processing all the calories. It's why diets rich in vegetables and whole grains can be so effective.

I'm not sure if this happens in other countries, but here in Brazil, some medical specialties have started prescribing a lot of vitamins and supplements. I mean, a lot - tons of pills.
