Summary
In this episode, we take a look at some of the foods that we all like to think are healthy, even when they aren't.
Key Points:
- Why eating sushi is the equivalent of eating slices of white bread
- Why a spinach wrap is basically just green colored bread
- How to eat healthy in today's world
Notable Quote:
"Two sushi rolls may seem like the perfect light lunch. It's fish, right? But what most women don't know is that a typical California roll contains the carb equivalent of two and a half to four slices of bread—that's like eating two sandwiches filled with fake crab, avocado, and a teeny bit of veggies. Add a spicy tuna roll (another common choice) and you're eating another mayo-laden tuna sammy. At 640 calories, these rolls aren't terrible. But all those simple carbs are crowding out the protein and veggies." - Rachel Beller, R.D.

| 0:55.4 | episode because we've got two foods here it's based on an article on glamor |
| 1:00.0 | dot com that it's a food autopsy. The purpose of this is not necessarily about the |
| 1:08.2 | particular foods that we're looking at. So if you don't eat these foods or |
| 1:12.1 | if you're not a fan of them that's totally fine the purpose of this is to encourage you to ask yourself the question |
| 1:19.0 | About what it is that you are eating because there are many things that we eat in our day-to-day lives |
| 1:23.9 | that we think are healthier than they actually are. Things that are very common |
| 1:30.1 | in a healthy quote-unquote diet that isn't actually doing us any favors. |
| 1:36.0 | So my hope is that by the end of this episode you will develop a healthy appreciation for the process of questioning the things you eat, the things |
| 1:46.6 | you put into your body, and how those things will affect you in the long term. |
