If you grew up in the 90s, your idea of “healthy eating” probably included:
fat-free cookies, spray butter, meal replacement shakes and believing eating after 7 pm was basically illegal.
We were literally doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics around food.
Turns out health isn’t about fearing bread, counting every almond, or surviving on cabbage soup but about eating real food, building sustainable habits, and not treating every snack like a moral decision.
Save this if you survived the low-fat era and are now healing your relationship with food one normal meal at a time.
