Food is an important part of a balanced diet.” —Fran Lebowitz Do you think of some food as “good” and some as “bad”? Can you imagine just thinking of food as food: delicious, enjoyable, and sustaining? Can you imagine a life without avoiding “bad” foods – without dieting? Dieting can bring out the worst in us. Research suggests that low-calorie and restrictive diets can make us anxious, irritable, frustrated, and depressed (Markey, 2015). In fact, just the act of trying to avoid certain foods makes us want them more (Polivy & Herman, 2002). The key to successfully improving one’s health is to find a way to make healthier choices without starving or eliminating the foods you love. #fitnessmotivation#journeytohealth#f52grams#shebrewitgood#easyanddelish#healthybody#foodie#chefsofinstagram#chefsroll#feedfeed#foodbuzz#tastyfood#canadian#local#seafood (at Virgil) https://www.instagram.com/p/B948gVonC7N/?igshid=iiuxunil8uyq
