On episode 144 of The Diet Diaries I'm talking about the long time trend of "healthifying" foods.You know, taking “junk” food and “bad” food and making it healthy. Trying to make everything high protein. AKA zoodles, cauliflower pizza, black bean brownies, paleo granola, protein pancakes, cookies made with coconut sugar.Are these foods actually healthier? Do they help you lose weight without counting calories? Should you use them? The answer isn’t as black and white as it seems and as always it comes back to your values and WHY you’re making the choices you’re making around food. Here’s some of what you’ll hear today:Why we need to stop calling food healthy and what language we should use insteadHow to get clarity on the roles of different types of foodsWhen and how I make choices to use “healthified” foodsWhat health actually means and why it’s about so much more than what you eatHow “healthified” foods can back fire on your goals and impact binge eating recoveryHow to know when choosing a healthier version of food is the right option for youAnd Project Plate Plan is coming in October!
