When we label food as good or bad, we are potentially destroying our relationship with food. In extreme situations, we can become afraid of food. This can lead to eating disorders and we can really do ourselves harm.
Also, if we label food as bad, we can feel guilty or shameful when we eat that food.
Food is not good or bad. It is food. There will be some foods that cause us to feel better physically, therefore serving us well. And there will be foods we decide to stay away from due to the food causing us not to feel so great. That food will be individual to the person.
What works for one's body may not work for another. Don't get caught up in what you can and can't have. Decide what foods cause you to feel your best and eat more of those. And if you decide to eat a food that you know isn't going to cause you to feel your best, it's ok. Don't beat yourself up. Learn from it and move on.
