Healthy Eating Guidelines
Healthy Eating Guidelines for many people mean 'what' is nutritionally healthy. Well that's a real minefield because in between all the controversial nutritional advice out there - who knows what is really really true? But being a psychologist rather than a dietican - I'm going to leave those kind of debates up to those who are way more qualified than me to sort through that mess.
What I want to share with you are about healthy eating guidelines revolves around the psychology of eating.... like for example:• what happens to the health of our eating habits when we restrict and deprive ourselves? • what about emotional eating and our mental health? • what about food phobias, food obsessions and pre-occupation and how do memories of food from our childhood color our eating choices now? • how do we listen to our body and relay on it to provide us with it's own inherent healthy eating guidelines? • what happens to our eating when we make carrots and carrot cake psychologically equal? • and yes.... I'll also cover what I believe to be some food myths and share some of my own personal beliefs that inform my eating habits. These are the kinds of healthy eating guidelines the ditch diets - live light website can help you with. Please come back to this page as I intend to keep adding to it. Curious about why there are diet ads on my site when there is nothing body wise about them? Good!
