If you’re confused by nutrition advice, you’re not alone. One day “healthy foods” are the answer… the next day someone says carbs are the enemy, vegan is best, keto is king, and organic means “clean.” In this episode, we break down why the word “healthy” is so misleading—and why it often gets mistaken for weight loss or fat loss. Here’s the truth: you can eat “healthy” all day and still not lose weight if you’re not in a calorie deficit. And foods labeled organic, vegan, or low sugar aren’t automatically better for your body—or your goals. We talk about how marketing labels, diet culture, and social media noise create confusion, and how to simplify your eating by focusing on what actually matters: your meal plan, your macros (protein, carbs, fats), fiber, consistency, and how your body feels. We also explain the big reason people “lose weight” fast when they cut carbs—and why it’s often water weight, not true fat loss. If you’re tired of chasing diets and want a realistic, sustainable approach, this is for you.
