I am so with you on all of these! I especially hate juicing. Whoever first said that it was a healthy idea should be hanged! lol
I once wrote an article on my Spanish-language blog about how juicing is not healthy, and I get so many hate comments on it! The good news is that it’s also the most read article on my blog! lol
I would have to add another item on your list: fruit smoothies. Those are so wrong! They’re nothing but a sugar and calorie bomb. I have nothing against green smoothies, which have a high dose of veggies in them and a small portion of fruit. But fruit-only smoothies should be banned. And everyone thinks they’re so healthy! It’s just wrong.
Pinning and tweeting this. Greetings from the Blogger’s Pit stop!

Emma! I’m shocked you would take any notice of any findings, especially food-related findings, that our government releases! 🙂

I am so glad you have done this video, I think some people just don’t realise that some things are just not that great for you. The juice cleanse thing never really took off in the UK, most people just couldn’t be bothered with it. The Brit’s like solid food too much. I have had countless arguments with people over smoothies and granola, they never believe me when I tell them you may as well just have a donut instead of that smoothie. There is a woman I work with who is always on a ‘diet’ and follows all the food fads. She munches down a whole bowl of granola with full-fat coconut milk for her lunch along with fresh juice. I was trying to be nice when I told her that she should seek better advice than Instagram if she wanted to follow a healthy balanced diet. She got a bit bitchy with me and said what did I know I was eating granola after all. I had 2 tablespoons of homemade granola sprinkled on top of 0% Greek yoghurt as a treat after my salmon and lentil salad. I deserved a treat….lol though I did piss myself laughing when about 6 weeks later she was complaining about having put about 10 pounds on. That’s what you get when you eat so much sugar. Keep up the good work and debunk those crazy ‘health’ foods. There is a big move over here in the UK to debunk coconut oil as a health food as there is a lot of information about how much fat it actually contains hitting the shelves now. I must admit when the Government released its findings about the amount of saturated fat in coconut oil I stopped using it so much. Never thought butter would be the healthier option! I look forward to the next instalment.

Katheleen! I am so honored that you want to feature me! 🙂 And of course you can WARN PEOPLE – I don’t mind what-so-ever!! You can just tell them that I am insanely PASSIONATE about what I am talking about, ha! I used to go around health food stores and just pick out all the super unhealthy fakers with my mom when I was a kid, it was actually really fun for me. I will always remember the smells of those health food stores too, they always smelled… Well like weird funky protein powders and green powders, lol!

You have tapped into a winner here. It is high time someone called these marketing traps out for what they are. It is like going to a health food store, half of what they sell has nothing to add to your health, it is a money grabber.
I just have to feature this post on the next Blogger’s Pit Stop. LOL I will have to give a language warning if you don’t mind.
Looking forward to more in this series.

I know açaí bowls are all the rage, and have been for years but I just don’t get it. It just tastes like another berry to me.

At the moment I’m studying for Trainer Hormone Factor. It’s – as the name would suggest – all about hormones and how you can get them as healthy as possible. Exam will be soon! So fingers crossed!!

JEAN – GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE because EVERYTHING YOU WROTE… I 10000000% agree with and talk about with everyone who comes to me for advice/help!!!
And oh man, yes, those BEAUTIFUL desserts… THE AMOUNTS OF SUGAR in them could probably kill a herd of cattle. Seriously. I appreciate how beautiful they are, and if I gave ZERO Fs about my health I would face plant into one I am sure, but thankfully I DO care – so I will continue to just appreciate their beauty and that’s IT!
