Natural Food Store vs. Local Grocery Store

Be aware folks, that fancy food stores can still sneak a crazy number of calories into your cart and then pack the pounds onto your body. 

Don't assume the food is healtheir at the Natural Food Store.  In a study in the Journal of Consumer Research, people estimated foods to have up to 35% fewer calories when they came from a "healthy" place.  But these stores all stock stuff that can make you fat.  One cup of Trader Joe's Pecan Praline Granola has as many calories as two twin-wrapped packages of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  Yikes!

And don't fall for fads.  Just because that scone is vegan, lactose-free does not mean it isn't still loaded with calories. 

To Your Health,
