Stay away from this horrible diet advice
As a holistic nutrition coach, when I see the downright horrible diet advice that people are given or read on “health” sites or magazines, it makes me seethe. No wonder 7 out of 10 of us are sick, overweight, and medicated. And one of the biggest problems is that many sources of this dreadful advice appear to be credible!

Impossible burger—quite possibly harmful
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you probably remember me saying this at one point or another about processed foods: The farther you venture away from Nature with what you eat, the less nutritious (and quite likely more harmful) it is to your body.

Plus, one day you can read a study that says a certain food is bad, and the next day another study that says it’s healthy!
