“Eat what you want, add what you need”

I was craving Oreos my coworker brought to work yesterday for Valentine’s Day, but I overate so I was feeling guilty

Then I remembered something I heard on TikTok yesterday

✨EAT WHAT YOU WANT, ADD WHAT YOU NEED

So I used three Oreo cookies to my nonfat-plain-Greek-yogurt and grapes 😋

... Read moreIndulging in treats can often lead to feelings of guilt, but there's a healthier mindset to adopt. Inspired by a popular TikTok saying, "Eat what you want, add what you need," you can enjoy your favorite snacks without compromising your health goals. For instance, combining Oreos with nonfat Greek yogurt not only satisfies your cravings but also adds nutritional value with protein and probiotics. When navigating cravings, it’s essential to find a balance between enjoyment and nutrition that works for you. This approach encourages mindful eating, allowing you to appreciate your treats while incorporating healthier ingredients. Experiment with different snacks and pair them with nutritious items to create satisfying combinations. Here are some more ideas: mix dark chocolate chips with almonds for a tasty trail mix or pair peanut butter with apple slices for a delicious treat. Remember, moderation is key! This method not only enhances flavor but also helps in maintaining a balanced lifestyle, making it easier for you to stick to your dietary goals. Embrace both worlds: the indulgent and the nutritious, and find joy in your eating habits.
