Ep 48 - Sustainable Healthy Eating: Balancing Food for Fuel and Food for Enjoyment


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like eating healthy means giving up all the fun? Or like enjoying food means throwing your health out the window? The truth is, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. In this episode, we’ll talk about how to balance food for fuel and food for enjoyment so you can build a healthy lifestyle that actually lasts.

 

I’ll walk you through three simple categories of food and the lessons we can learn from each. When you understand these categories, it becomes easier to create balance, avoid strict restriction followed by binge eating, and enjoy food while still working toward your health goals.

 

You'll learn:

 

🔸 What "food for fuel" is and why not every meal has to be the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten

 

🔸 How "food for enjoyment" can fit into a healthy lifestyle without derailing your progress

 

🔸 Why some people thrive with flexible restraint while others do better with complete avoidance

 

🔸 The importance of finding the "sweet spot" of meals that are both delicious and nutrient-dense

 

🔸 How taste buds adapt over time and healthy food can actually become more satisfying

 

By the end, you’ll have a clear framework to help you eat for energy, enjoy food without guilt, and discover a sustainable way of eating that works long term.
