Have you ever heard someone say, “if you tell your child not to do something, they will want to do it even more”?
Well, it is true and it applies to everyone, not only children.
If you view certain foods as bad or good—you are telling yourself which ones not to eat—or else, YOU will be “bad.”
What happens when you eat this “bad” food? Well, you already “messed up,” why not go even further?
Can you see how this mindset leads to a vicious binge-restrict cycle?
If you take nothing away from this page, try to understand this one fact:
Food cannot be bad or good—and we cannot “become” bad or good by simply consuming certain foods.

Food should not be idolized or demonized. It is either nutritious, pleasurable, or both! All of which come together to make our lives enjoyable.
