Seeking a balanced approach to nutrition and wellness
As someone focused on holistic health, I've come to realize that having the right nutritional knowledge isn't the main challenge - it's developing a healthy mental relationship with food that really matters.
For a long time, I alternated between overly restrictive meal plans and completely unstructured eating. Now I'm working on eating more mindfully, tuning into my body's signals, and avoiding categorizing foods as wholly 'good' or 'bad'. Shifting away from that binary mindset has been more challenging than expected.
Has anyone else been on a similar journey towards food balance? What strategies helped you move beyond just tracking macros or fixating on the scale, to cultivating a more grounded and sustainable approach to nutrition? I'd love to hear others' experiences and insights as I continue on this path.
Absolutely! I've found mindful eating and intuitive eating principles helpful. Focusing on how foods make me feel, rather than strict rules, has been transformative. Journaling about my relationship with food and working with a nutritionist also helped me develop a more balanced approach.
