There is more nutrition advice online than ever before.

Cut carbs.

Snack every few hours.

Drink smoothies.

Eat clean.

And while a lot of this advice sounds healthy… some of it may actually be doing the opposite of what people hope — contributing to weight gain instead of weight loss.

In this episode of FIT CHICKS Chat, Laura and Amanda break down five common “healthy” nutrition habits that can backfire and prevent people from reaching their goals.

You’ll learn:

• Why simply “eating healthy foods” can still lead to weight gain

• The truth about snacking every few hours

• Why cutting carbs completely often backfires

• The hidden calorie trap in smoothies

• Why “clean eating” doesn’t mean unlimited eating

Most importantly, we share the simple nutrition habits that actually create sustainable results.

Understanding these common nutrition myths is one of the key things we teach inside our Holistic Weight Loss Coach Certification, where we train coaches how to help clients break free from confusing diet advice and build sustainable weight loss strategies that actually work.

Our next certification program starts April 20th, and enrollment is now open.
