Where’s The Beef? | Are Plant Based Burgers Healthy?

Are Plant Base Burgers Really Better Than Beef?   If you
believe all the marketing then you'd probably say "yes of course!"
In fact you've probably chosen a plant based burger at a restaurant
over a beef one, maybe bought some at the grocery store.  But
are they really better for you? Are they really better for the
environment? Around here, you know we like to dig a little deeper,
and I don't think you're going to like what I found.    
First a quick reminder: I'm not here to demonize food, to create
guilt in you for your food choices, or to create food rules, BUT we
do need to be able to have an honest conversation about foods that
are healthier choices and those that aren't, and why.  That's
what this episode is - information to arm yourself with so you can
make the healthiest choices for yourself as often as you can.
 Everything in moderation.   In this episode I'm mostly
talking about the Impossible Burger, the Beyond Burger, and a
regular beef burger. I'll compare them based on: - ingredients and
safety - possible reactions - protein source - nutrients
and bioavailability   Just because a burger says it's
"plant based" does not automatically mean it's healthy.  It's
still a highly processed food, and in general we want to limit
highly processed foods where we can.  Just because a cookie is
"gluten free" doesn't magically make it a health food.  The
same rule applies here!  And in the case of some of these
"plant based" burgers we're talking about the OPPOSITE of
healthy!     I encourage you to share this episode
with friends so they can make the best choices for themselves too!

Make Peace with Food If you struggle with yo-yo dieting then you
know how hard it is to make any real lasting change.
 Unfortunately most women get stuck in the belief that being
on a diet is the only way to lose weight and get healthy, and when
they inevitably fail they’ve destroyed their self esteem, destroyed
their relationship with food, and get stuck in a guilt/shame spiral
that starts the whole process over again.   If you don’t
understand how reprogram your mind that is sabotaging you, and
reprogram your body for health, you’ll never make lasting progress.
  That’s why I created the Healthy Mind, Healthy Body
Program; to teach you how to make a real, lasting
transformation in your Mind AND Body.
