Shift your mindset … 🍩
The nutrition and fitness industry has excelled at categorizing foods as either ‘good’ or ‘bad!’ and we buy into it so easily. But what does it even mean? In what context is a food ‘bad’ or ‘good’?
If your goal is eating fewer calories then maybe a higher calorie food might be perceived as bad? But if your goal was gaining weighing then that same food is ‘good’. Yes some foods may contain more nutrients than others but that doesn’t mean they’re inherently good or bad – just different. Food not only provides energy and nutrients, it also has an emotional component and we choose foods for a myriad of reasons – none of which are bad.
It’s time to shift your mindset when it comes to food. You can reach your goals, whilst still enjoying all the foods you love, you just need to account for them. Rather than labelling foods and good or bad, instead just focus on a more flexible approach that encourages a positive relationship with food. This will help to create sustainable long-term results and leave you feeling considerably happier than demonising and avoiding delicious foods you love forever!
Enjoy 🤗
