MYTH: I Should Only Eat Healthy Foods

FACT: Although it is important to include healthy foods in your diet, our bodies come genetically designed to want a variety of foods and we live in an environment where hyperpalatable foods loaded with desirable sugar, fat, and salt are available to us everywhere. When you deny these foods completely, most feel deprivation and cravings for them that are hard to overpower and ignore. Eventually you will give in and probably eat even more of the cookies or french fries than your body needs. Eating 10-20% less of these foods is a better method to cope with unhealthy foods than trying to deny them.
