Should Your Avoid Sugar?
People who allow themselves to eat sweets when they want without shame or judgement are often better at managing their intake, being satisfied with less because it's always available. They don't need to gorge themselves on the sweet stuff because it's not the only opportunity they have to get their fill.
Looking to improve your diet feel more in control around sugar:
- Don't restrict your intake. Keep sweets in the house for those times that you want them. When you are craving a treat, eat it, and then move on with your life.
- When you do have sugar, don't try to compensate later as this will contribute to a restrict and binge cycle.
- Monitor the way you talk to yourself. There should be no moral value attached to the way that you eat. Eating a "bad" food doesn't make you a bad person. In fact, there are really no good or bad foods, so be kind to yourself.
- Eat a well-balanced diet that includes a high intake of fruits, vegetables, fish, and whole grains. More often than not, it's your diet as a whole that makes the most difference in your overall health and well-being. Not sure where to start? Pick one food to add at first and go from there.
