Diet vs Healthy Lifestyle Change - Nutrition Nuggets 65
Restrict, reduce, decrease, limit and avoid are just some of the familiar words you may hear when someone is describing a "diet". The keto, paleo, intermittent fasting, low fat, low carb and caveman diets, are some of the common and popular diets that people are following these days, thanks to social media and many 'gurus' in the coaching space.
Do you really need to follow a certain restrictive way of eating, or can you live your life with more balance for health and lifestyle?
Today, we discuss some ways to spot the difference between a healthy lifestyle change and a strict diet.
We refer to a previous episode about diet culture which is a more in depth discussion of some of the issues. Click here to listen.
