How Food Labels Are Lying to You
About this episode
If you’ve ever felt proud for picking the “low fat” yoghurt or choosing the cereal with all green traffic lights… but still found yourself stuck, tired, and not seeing results this episode is for you.
In today’s conversation, we’re diving into the world of food labels, and exposing why the traffic light system, calorie counting, and diet food marketing are leading so many women astray. Especially if you're over 40 and noticing that what used to work for weight loss just isn’t cutting it anymore.
You’ll learn:
- Why the traffic light labelling system is deeply flawed (and what it doesn’t show you)
- The crucial nutrition info most people skip, and what to look for instead
- Why fat and salt are not the enemies you’ve been led to believe they are
- How the “calories in vs calories out” model is holding you back
- What “low fat” and “diet” really mean, and why they often do more harm than good
- What actually drives fat burning in your 40s and beyond (hint: it’s not restriction)
If you’re tired of feeling like you’re doing everything right and still not getting results, this episode will help you see food (and your body) in a completely new way.
