Episode 3417: Rachel Trotta challenges the mindset of labeling foods as “good” or “bad,” arguing that so-called “clean eating” often creates cycles of restriction, overeating, and shame rather than lasting progress. She offers a more practical framework for evaluating nutrition and exercise habits, while introducing the concept of trigger foods and why certain foods can be especially difficult to eat in moderation. Read along with the original article(s) here: Quotes to ponder: "Health is more than physical, it encompasses the mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of life, as well, and it’s hard to untangle these components." "To be clear: a trigger food is not a bad food to be avoided at all costs. Instead, it’s a food that tends to elicit overeating." "Black and white lines separating “good foods” from “bad foods” creates a very difficult and bumpy road to success." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
