It’s important to note again that there are no Good Foods or Bad Foods. This gives us more freedom, allows us to still feel free by indulging in our favorite foods at social events, and avoids the common burnout seen when we are forced to eliminate whole food groups (like in the keto diet).

When going this route, you’ll be taking care of your body by eating whole foods while still including the fun foods foods that may not necessarily work towards your goals or health, but are ok to eat in moderation.
