Summary

Awareness is always the first step to change. When it comes to our diet and our health, we have to become aware of our consumption before we can change it. This episode helps shed awareness on the omnipresence of low quality ingredients in our packaged foods - even the ones coming from stores we think of as “health food” stores - and gives you actionable steps you can take to get them out of your diet. While moving away from eating the majority of food out of a bag or box and starting to eat more whole foods is a really big shift for some, Erin helps reduce the overwhelm by breaking down confusing food ingredients and offers up swaps to help you start taking action and make big improvements quickly. In this episode: -Low quality ingredients in snack foods [1:07] -Awareness precipitates change [2:49] -The various names for sugar and vegetable oils [3:26] -A pep talk for making change [8:57] -Answering listener questions about importance of quality oils & fats [17:30] -Why “heart healthy” vegetable oils are problematic [19:40] -Sun butter vs sunflower oil [20:26] -Why opinions on “the right diet” differ so much [29:01] -Are saturated fats the scapegoat for refined sugar?
