Is your strategy to eat healthy based on avoidance of "bad" foods?  Do you keep "junk" foods out of the house as a way to eat better?

If yes, you are giving food way to much power and I don't think this is your best approach to eating well.   Cravings just don't go away because the food is not around.  In fact, often this denial has us wanting more and the avoidance ultimately results in binging on these forbidden foods.

In this episode,  I argue that having junk food in the house is positive and necessary for the following reasons:

a) you can satiate the craving with what you really want, therefore letting it go 

b) you can eat it in moderation knowing it is their tomorrow

c) you can get curious about if you even want or like it 

d) it teaches our children to regulate food 

Take a listen and let me know if I have changed your mind about this!
