There are several overrated diet and health foods out there. These are foods that aren't as nutritious as you think and more often than not, they're not that tasty either. In this episode, Pivot dietitian coach Sam Ferguson and I discuss 6 of them, including some personal stories (we used to be obsessed we some of these!).

In this episode:

<ul>
<li>Halo Top</li>
<li>Quest Bars</li>
<li>Granola</li>
<li>Veggie Straws/Chips</li>
<li>Smoothies</li>
<li>Greens</li>
</ul>
