Foodcare Philosophy
I am of the opinion that there is no bad food. Weight loss is one piece of a big health puzzle. I believe that most people have a less than ideal relationship with food and there are new tools available to repair those relationships and begin the healing process to better health. Weight is just a number and a snapshot in time, it is not the defining factor of health. Health at Every Size (HAES), intuitive eating, mindful choices, meal planning, grocery shopping education, and appropriate activity are all tools in the health journey.
