Many people are confused about what healthy eating means.

A lot of people associate “healthy eating” with losing weight, cutting out all carbs or gluten or dairy or another restriction, and ultimately depriving themselves of any food they enjoy.

🥘🍲🍹🍹🥂But the truth is, healthy eating is about enjoying the special moments in life so that you can celebrate with others. The goal of healthy eating is to give your body the variety of nutrients it needs to feel good, have energy, and maintain its proper functioning.

If you want to live healthily, if you want to avoid chronic diseases, occasional treats are a part of your food. They should be part of your food. One of the reasons I host this podcast is to provide you with knowledge so that you can be empowered. You can make your own decisions. You own your health this way.

So how can you eat healthily and adopt a nutritious way of eating? Because we all want to feel the best we can. We want to have a lot of energy. We want to live a long, healthy life, right? Here are tips I apply myself, and I give to my clients when it comes to eating healthy without feeling deprived.

Avoid Labeling Foods as Good or Bad

A food is just a food. It might have more or fewer health properties or nutritious value and your body might function better or worse on certain foods. But it doesn’t give them the moral high ground. So hopefully after listening to this episode, you would stop calling foods as good or bad.

“Oh, this is bad for you. This is good for you.” I hear this all the time. So let’s stop that.

Healthy, Sustainable Eating Is Not Based on Deprivation

If you’re counting down the seconds until you can eat a slice of cake or have a drink, you are on an unsustainable fad. That’s it. Period. Healthy eating should satisfy not only your hunger, but it should also be able to fulfill your soul without any feelings of deprivation or mental health issues.

Shift Your Mindset

If you are operating out of a scarcity mindset as a result of dieting for a very long time or the diet culture around you, working towards an abundant mindset is key. An abundant mindset can be fostered through eating healthy, which is a non-diet approach to nutrition, being more intuitive about what you eat, and the process means reflecting on your food resources and food access, being grateful for these resources.

Say Yes to More Foods that Nourish Your Body, Mind, and Soul. A healthy, nutritious way of eating stays with you 7 days a week and 365 days a year and includes the treats and celebrations.

🌿🌿🌿In this episode we’ll explore why restrictive eating is not good for us and you will learn tips I apply myself and give to my clients when it comes to eating healthy without feeling deprived.

Let’s redefine healthy eating as a journey towards strength, energy, and wellness, free from rigid food rules. By adopting a mindful and balanced approach to nutrition, we can cultivate a positive relationship with food that nourishes both body and soul.
