“Don’t fixate on nutrition. “The diet industry can suck you in, making you feel lousy about your body and guilty about your food choices. Or, self-righteous for following the rules, which is equally as bad,” says Bacon. It’s important to drop the fear and guilt about food and lighten up on the thinness imperative. “Constantly worrying about nutrition doesn’t translate into getting more nutritional benefit,” Bacon points out. “Interestingly enough, those who let themselves eat what they want, take pleasure in eating and care less about nutrition tend to eat more nutritiously,” adds the HAES expert.”
