1. Your skin appears orangey after eating carrots.
Eating too many orange fruits and veggies can result in carotenemia, says registered dietitian Amy Goodson, the Dallas Cowboys’ sports dietitian. “Carotenemia comes from the word carotene, which gives orange vegetables their color. Though it’s not harmful, it can cause a yellow-orange tint to the skin.” The easy fix: Swap orange veggies for ones in green, yellow and other colors. The time it takes to reverse the fake tan depends on the person, but once yours dissipates, limit yourself to one or two orange fruits and veggies a day. “You can still get the nutrients you need,” assures Goodson.
