UNCONDITIONAL and ALL are the key words here. Until you truly let yourself free, there will be restriction. Restriction increases cravings, leads to overeating, and adds a whole lot more stress.

Does it sound overwhelming? That's normal. Choose 1 food, incorporate it into your diet and move forward. One step at a time.

Take away the power.

If serving sizes are a trigger for you, it's okay to take a step away from them. However they are an awesome resource for when we are trying to finds food that keep us full, help us recover etc. Shifting your mindset takes time, but it's the most practical solution when we are surrounded by food labels daily.

The ketogenic diet was created to treat pediatric epilepsy. Don't let it waste your time.

This is why people dread making changes to their eating habits. There are a handful foods that have been accepted as "good" or "healthy" and it gives the impression that all others have to be eliminated. Maybe it's broccoli and salmon. Maybe it's avocados, grilled chicken, green powders... get what I'm saying? The nutrients that are in these glorified foods are in other forms. You shouldn't be trying to follow a meal plan that has foods you don't genuinely enjoy. I am confident you can find protein sources or veggies that you like. It's trial and error. Figure out what foods you like, what foods make you feel good and where those overlap.

It's true! You should be able to enjoy the foods you love most.

When I was stuck in a disordered eating mindset, I avoided pasta, peanut butter, cheese, and Reece's. I have no idea how I didn't recognize that as a glaring problem right off the bat. I don't eat these foods everyday now, but the more I restricted them, the more stress it caused.

It takes a minute to step away from food rules, but it's really the only solution. Give your body what it's asking for. It is possible to develop healthy habits that work WITH your lifestyle.

Probably not! Goals should be ACTIONS. When we set goals that are unrealistic or don’t have clear steps towards a solution, it can lead to frustration. Creating small specific goals can be much more productive than a huge “that would be nice” goal. Small wins keep you focused and motivated.

AND just because you don’t know exactly why you’re extra hungry, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t respond to the cue. If you are hungry, the only solution is to eat.

We need balance to build substantial snacks! Here are some ideas to get you started. If you have questions, comment below!

Do any of these stand out to you?
Food rules can slip into disordered eating pretty fast. You might start doing something with the intention of finding a healthy lifestyle, but there’s a point where it turns into the complete opposite. Awareness is the first step towards food freedom!
