Episode 3202: Sally Kuzemchak dismantles seven popular but misguided pieces of nutrition advice, encouraging a more realistic and balanced approach to healthy eating. With clarity and humor, she emphasizes that nuance and context matter more than food rules, helping listeners feel empowered rather than overwhelmed at the grocery store. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.realmomnutrition.com/nutrition-advice-that-drives-me-nuts/ Quotes to ponder: "A diet so restrictive that you need to spend an entire day eating all the foods you’re normally not allowed to have is not sustainable in the long term." "So much advice about processed food is unrealistic, like 'avoid anything in a package'. As if!" "Most foods are processed in some way, including plenty of healthy staples, since processing includes canning, freezing, and chopping."
