In this episode, we take a look at some of the foods that we all like to think are healthy, even when they aren't.

Key Points:

  • Why eating sushi is the equivalent of eating slices of white bread
  • Why a spinach wrap is basically just green colored bread
  • How to eat healthy in today's world

Notable Quote:

"Two sushi rolls may seem like the perfect light lunch. It's fish, right? But what most women don't know is that a typical California roll contains the carb equivalent of two and a half to four slices of bread—that's like eating two sandwiches filled with fake crab, avocado, and a teeny bit of veggies. Add a spicy tuna roll (another common choice) and you're eating another mayo-laden tuna sammy. At 640 calories, these rolls aren't terrible. But all those simple carbs are crowding out the protein and veggies." - Rachel Beller, R.D.
