You’re trying to eat healthy—and that’s amazing.
But what if I told you the grocery store is full of labels that sound healthy… but aren’t?
Phrases like “multigrain,” “lightly sweetened,” and “made with real fruit” seem trustworthy, but they’re often designed to trick you into buying foods that aren’t nearly as good for you as they claim.
HEALTHY FOOD? THINK AGAIN
In this week’s episode of Healthy Looks Great on You, we’re heading back to mini medical school.
I’m breaking down the 8 most common deceptive marketing terms you’ll see on food packages—and showing you exactly how to spot the real deal instead.
🎧 You’ll learn:
✅ What “multigrain” really means (spoiler: it’s not the win you think it is)
✅ Why “natural” isn’t always natural at all
✅ How “no added sugar” can still be packed with sugar
✅ And so much more.
If you want to feel confident about what you’re putting into your body—and outsmart the marketing hype—this episode is a must-listen.
In this episode, I mention the importance of learning to read a food nutrition label. Here’s episode 115 for reference.
