there are no bad foods

Just wanna give you a quick reminder that there are no such thing as bad foods.

For the average healthy individual, food is food. One bite of any type of food isn’t gonna drastically change your health or weight loss progress. Sure if you have medical conditions that needs a special diet, that’s a whole other conversation.

Generally speaking, there’s no good or bad foods.

There’s foods that is high in nutrients. There’s foods that’s low in nutrients. The nutritional value of food actually doesn’t have too much to do with your actual weight loss progress. You could totally lose weight eating mostly low nutrient foods. You could also gain weight eating mostly high nutrient foods.

For weight it’s not about a food’s nutritional value, it’s about the amount (calories) of it that you’re eating regularly.

So what about health?

Health indeed is all about nutrients.

But being healthy doesn’t mean you gotta eat 100% foods high in nutrients. A good 70-80% is plenty for you to be in tip top shape. Which means you can absolutely 20-30% of the time enjoy foods low in nutrients regularly.

Why is this important?

Cos by understanding this you’ll realize that you don’t have to avoid any foods to reach your goals. You don’t need to suffer unnecessarily and make the journey harder than it needs to be. There are no evil foods out there that have some kind of magic where you take one bite and suddenly your belly grows an inch. There’s also no foods where you take a nibble and your fats start to melt away.

Staying away from over restriction and leaning in towards enjoying foods you love regularly is pretty key to reaching your weight goals as it gives you the best chance to make it a lifestyle which then means consistency becomes a non-issue and when you get that down it becomes just a matter of time before you reach your goals.

Don’t fear foods. Understand them, and learn how to fit each food you love into your life regularly.

That’ll make your weight loss journey much much easier.
