Does No Foods Off Limits Labeling Create A Fear Based Mindset?

One of my mottos is no foods off limits if you enjoy them. Mother Nature created only the best for our bodies to be vibrant, strong and to move through life easily and joyfully. Food is so multi-faceted. Yes... it provides nutrition for our bodies, but it also brings people together to foster loving community.

And oh boy...It can also be emotional when choosing dishes that bring back family memories or remind you of the past.

Though the most important thing to remember is it should never feel wrong to engage in the practice of sharing a meal.

No Foods Off Limits

Intuitive eating is rising in popularity, with more people sharing about it across social media platforms and popular blogs. One of the main principles is that there are no foods off limits especially if they are part of your culture and you enjoy them.

For example, labeling foods as bad creates a fear-based mindset around food, which can trigger disordered eating. Restrictions lead to more intense cravings, which can cause you to feel like you have lousy willpower when it actually goes deeper into our mindset.

Instead of looking at food with rules and rigidity, try to view foods as neutral and check-in with yourself while eating to discern when you may be full. Focus on eating foods that make you feel good, and make room for the foods you love, too!
