Monthly Guest Blog: Sarah Bambey – The Pretend Health Freak

Meet Sarah Bambey, a healthy eating yoga doing, lover of life and creator of pretend health freak.

In a world where everybody is preaching the healthiest way to live, young health blogger Sarah AKA Pretend Health Freak takes a more refreshing approach to diet. She creates recipes made with wholesome foods without getting too caught up in labels, fads or trends. She’s expanding her following of over 110k on Instagram and social media by calling all Pretend Health Freaks to come forward and join her social media tribe.

So, what is a pretend health freak?

Basically a pretend health freak is someone who will try their best to be healthy but still enjoy a treat from time to time. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and if there’s one thing we have in common, it’s our love for food!

Are you a pretend health freak?

A quick way to determine if you’re a true pretend health freak is to see if you can relate to any of these:

• You claim to eat healthy but always find time in a day for dessert
• You always think about food and when your next chance to eat will be
• You plan your day around meals
• You feel comforted and happy from food… more than you should
• You workout so you can eat more
• You can justify eating junk foods every now and then

If you related to a few or more of these, then you are a true pretend health freak! What’s next? Join in the fun on my Instagram, other social media outlets and my blog. I have also just  released a free eBook for all pretend health freaks to enjoy. So now you, your family, and your friends can feel a little less guilty about eating sweet treats.
