I overheard some ladies talking yesterday and instructing their kids not to get in the ocean. Here are two of their reasons: 1) they just had lunch and lady said you'll get cramps, you can't swim for an hour, and 2) your face will turn to scales while food is in your stomach.
Later, a young woman was advising me on my newest problem, leg cramps, and she told me it was impossible for me to get leg cramps because I wasn't sprinting. She said that leg cramping is caused from dehydration and only a person who sprints will get dehydrated; not distance people, so she suggested I see a doctor.
We all know these are pretty ridiculous, have you overheard anyone advising others about "their myths?" The people making these comments were from England.

But I want to know why I am so hungry after I eat carbs but not protein; I'm starving an hour after any pasta dish.
My suggestion is to read articles regarding the GI ---Google "Glycemic Index".
Here's a very brief excerpt from one such article:
High-GI foods raise blood-sugar levels more quickly than low-GI foods do, and they're associated with diabetes risk. Research is also finding that these foods tend to increase hunger and make us want to eat more of them. As a result, we consume too many extra calories, which get stored as fat. In addition, elevated blood sugar triggers the release of insulin, which furthers the storage of calories as fat. Some experts believe that this mechanism at least partially explains why we currently find ourselves in trouble with obesity and type-2 diabetes in American society. These conditions also have consequences that threaten to undermine the gains we've made in preventing heart disease through a healthy lifestyle.
