Are "healthified" foods actually healthier for you?

The Diet Diaries

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 instead
• How to get clarity on the roles of different types of foods
• When and how I make choices to use “healthified” foods
• What health actually means and why it’s about so much more than what you eat
• How “healthified” foods can back fire on your goals and impact binge eating recovery
• How to know when choosing a healthier version of food is the right option for you

And Project Plate Plan is coming in October! A 10 day self guided course delivered straight to your inbox that will teach you the core skills to lose weight without counting calories, macros or points.
