#151: How to Make Peace With "Healthy" Foods Like Veggies
Description
Today we are talking about something that doesn’t get discussed very often in the intuitive eating space…fruits and veggies.
We (of course) focus a lot in the beginning of the intuitive eating journey on making peace with things like donuts, burgers, pizza, french fries, ice cream, and things that diet culture has told us are “bad/unhealthy.”
But rarely do we talk about intentionally including fruits and veggies, or how to make peace with the “good/healthy” foods that diet culture told us we HAD TO eat for so long - to the point that you might gag at the thought of forcing yourself to choke down another salad.
Diet culture doesn’t get to co-opt fruits and veggies anymore! We get to reclaim them as part of enjoyable eating, and gentle nutrition.
Hit play and get ready to dig into how to think differently about fruits and veggies as part of intuitive eating.
