Food rules impact your well-being

There's a vital difference between food rules and healthy eating habits:

• Food rules are rigid: you have strict parameters around how you should eat and feel guilty or worried when you don't eat according to that plan.
• Healthy eating habits are flexible: you prioritise nutritious ingredients but don’t agonise over what to eat.

Following food rules can be physically, mentally, and socially exhausting, impacting your overall quality of life.
