Diet Culture vs Food Freedom Thoughts

Why You Don’t Have to Skip the Bun (Carbs Are Not the Enemy!)

Raise your hand if you’ve ever skipped the bun on your burger because diet culture told you bread (aka carbs) is bad for you 🙋‍♀️

Here’s the real deal: if you like your burgers without a bun, go for it!

But one thing you’ll learn from me is that carbs are not the enemy diet culture makes them out to be. They’re actually a major source of the energy your body needs to thrive!

So ask yourself: Are you skipping the bun because that’s what you like, or because it’s a food rule you’re making yourself follow?

A great way to start noticing these food rules is to write them down when they pop up. My Lifelong Wellness Journal has prompts and reflection spaces for exactly that, so you can spot patterns and start challenging the “shoulds” in your eating.

And if planning balanced meals that include carbs feels overwhelming, my Meal Planning Workbook for Lifelong Wellness gives you recipes, weekly meal templates, and grocery lists to take the guesswork out of your week. (Burger night with the bun counts! 🍔)

Ready to let go of your food rules for good?

If you want to learn exactly how to let go of your food rules, and why carbs are essential to your health so you can stop feeling guilty for eating bread, my self-paced course, the Path to Food Freedom, is for you!

The course gives you everything you need to shift from diet culture thinking to food freedom thinking, including audio presentations, worksheets, and readings to help you put each step into practice in your own life.
