287 - You Don’t Need Food Hacks. You Need Food You Can Live With.

from Daily Bit of Fit · host Coach Mack

Two viral food videos stopped me mid-scroll this week. One promised “healthy cheesecake” made from a full tub of Greek yogurt and a stack of cookies. The other showed a shredded twenty-something dipping cucumbers in protein powder and calling it “wet churros.” And all I could think was… how did eating become either a science experiment or a suffering contest?These kinds of hacks mess with your head more than your plate. One side whispers “you can have dessert and it’s healthy,” the other screams “if you really cared, you’d be miserable.” And somewhere in the middle, women end up feeling like they’re doing it wrong and need to start over. This episode is a reset on that thinking. Not a food lecture. A permission slip to choose normal.If you want help figuring out what your normal is, check out my 1:1 coaching package where we'll do exactly that: Find a normal plan that works for you. https://runningwithbacon.com/coachingprocess/
