@sophiemorrisofficial: The diet culture and obsession over calories has been drilled into us for decades. In fact most people I speak to tell me if they ever did look at the back of a food packet in the past it was only ever to read the amount of calories in the food, so they could try “stick to their calorie allowance” for the day. It’s time to shift our mindset away from thinking about just calories because the calorie model of food from a practical point of view just doesn’t work. Just looking at the number of calories of a food doesn’t take into consideration the quality of the food, the structure of the food or how that food was processed - all of which impacts our body’s response to the food and our health. So it’s time to shift the mindset away from just using calories as a marker of what’s “healthy” and what’s not, and we need to start looking at the quality of food by asking questions like - will this food nourish me? Does it contain quality, whole food ingredients? Will it give me fibre, healthy fats, and protein to keep me feeling full and satiated? I like to think of it like always asking yourself “what can I ADD to this meal to make it more nutrient dense” rather than “What do I need to take away”. This is what will lead us to choose foods that provide us with the nourishment our bodies need to live a long & healthful life. If you’re ready to shift your mindset in this way and would like to join me in my next round of the UPF reset, comment ‘waitlist’ below and I’ll send you the link to join my waitlist where you’ll get first access! 👇❤️ #calories #foodquality #ultraprocessedfoods #foodlabels
