Nutrition myth: your nutrition approach has to be all or nothing

One of the biggest nutrition misconceptions is by far the notion that nutrition has to be an all or nothing approach: ranging from calories to carbohydrates.

Some individuals will seek extreme nutrition measures for a desired outcome.

While this may be possible at the beginning, many frequently realize that this extreme approach is unsustainable and in some cases, frankly, unhealthy.

Healthy nutrition has to be sustainable and extreme measures rarely are.

Choose real foods (meaning avoiding processed foods), high in fiber, high in vitamins and minerals (fruits and veggies are great examples).

Pay attention to your hunger cues and the settings in which they set in.

Are you stressed and therefore grabbing for food?

Have you gone too long without eating and do you now feel ravenous?

Plan your meals and snacks and this time invested in planning will lead to greater satisfaction with the food choices you make during the week.
