Many people get started on their nutrition journeys being told they need to eliminate certain foods, or even entire food groups. In turn, this can cause guilt when you do stray from “the one true diet” and you can end up creating an unhealthy relationship with food, or worse, full-blown disordered eating.

Naivety can be bliss. Remember when you discovered just how many calories are in a tablespoon of peanut butter and how small or proper tablespoon really is? Or the moment you realized that losing “only” one pound per week is actually a win? Or that you still have to watch your calories and macros when you’re bulking or you just get fat? Listen to h…
