Hey everyone, Jared here, your fitness coach. I want to talk about some common misconceptions about so-called “good” and “bad” foods. Let’s break them down in simple terms.

1. The Idea That Certain Foods Are Bad and Should Be Avoided

Many people believe there are harmful foods they must completely eliminate from their diets. But the more you forbid yourself a specific food, the more you crave it. Constant thoughts about this “forbidden” food can wear you down and eventually lead to overeating.

Also, cutting out entire food groups can make you feel worse—low energy, apathy, and loss of motivation. Is losing weight worth all that? Remember, it’s one thing to skip chocolate for a couple of months, but it’s unrealistic to avoid it for the rest of your life

2. The Belief That Some Foods Are Super Healthy and Should Be Eaten Often

We are often attracted to brightly colored vegetables, fruits, or foods labeled “healthy,” “eco,” “bio,” or “good for you,” usually in green packaging (marketing at its best). Here are a few things to consider:

First, unless you have a serious vitamin deficiency, you don’t need special products. And if you do, it’s best to get tested and consult a specialist.

Second

if you have a serious deficiency, simply eating broccoli will not correct it. You will need a comprehensive approach - changing your entire diet, correcting your eating habits and possibly taking medication.
