Hey there!

Have you ever noticed that foods that aren’t exactly “good” for you seem to taste amazing?

It’s kind of like Mother Nature is playing a practical joke… but there are a few reasons this happens.

  1. Many “crave-worthy” foods are loaded with sugar, salt, fat, and empty calories.
  2. Our brains are hardwired to crave tasty, high-energy (aka high-calorie) foods because they help us survive when food is scarce. (Except for most of us, food isn’t scarce anymore — so we have to be careful not to overeat these foods.)
  3. Manufacturers spend A LOT of time and money making these foods as delicious as possible – and also on ads to entice us. It’s no surprise that some of these foods are hard to resist!

So if you find yourself craving these foods, that’s by design! 

I’m sharing this with you because I believe knowledge is power — and keeping this in mind helps me keep my own food choices in check!

According to the National Academy of Sciences, people eat too many calories, saturated fats, trans fats, and added sugars; too much sodium; and not enough vitamin D, calcium, potassium, or fiber.

Here’s the kicker: the top causes of death (heart disease, diabetes, some types of cancer, etc.) are strongly associated with our food choices!

Now, I am all for moderation … but I also know that walking that tightrope can be a real challenge sometimes! That’s why I focus on and recommend 90% healthy foods, 10% “extras” 

Committed to your success,
