Petro: What Do Your Diet and a Gas Pump Have in Common?

This week on Nacho Fitness Coach, Caleigh and Sara dive into the weird and wonderful world of food additives—starting with a tongue-in-cheek “petroleum diet” video that compares our snacks to a gas pump. From the alley-pizza-muffin saga to raw cookie dough debates, we explore why America’s ingredient list looks so different from Europe’s, how labels can be confusing, and why balance beats fear-mongering every time. Along the way we call out extreme diets (yes, even intermittent fasting), confess our own junk-food moments, and remind ourselves that one-ingredient foods might be the gold standard—but life’s too short not to have a Reese’s cup now and then.Connect with us on social media!Instagram | TikTok | Threads | Youtube | Facebook | X (Twitter) | WebsiteThis podcast offers health, fitness, and nutritional information and is designed for educational and entertainment purposes only.
