Don't skip the sweet, soft and gooey.
or rigid food rules. So, one way to take our power back and connect to ourselves is to grant the permission to eat all foods, which includes desserts .“Diet culture sets you up to blame yourself for enjoying a simple pleasure in life; you lose confidence around your food choices and what you could and should be having,” says dietitian, MS, RDN. “Giving yourself permission to enjoy all foods allows for a more mindful approach and more flexibility in your food choices.
“By giving yourself permission to eat a dessert, you eat it and you move on while knowing it will be there whenever you're craving it again,” Kolesa says.
“Some people might find themselves eating more of the dessert-alternative thinking that it isn't as ‘bad’ for them,” Kolesa shares. “Some people finish off the low-sugar, low calorie ice cream containers and end up eating more compared to what they would have with regular ice cream.”Eating dessert regularly normalizes them and takes them down from their diet culture-built pedestal
It also helps us to slowly remove unwarranted guilt and shame that often comes when we have that forbidden brownie sundae. Food gets to be good, and a cookie gets to be a cookie — nothing more — and we are not “bad” for eating it or “good” for skipping it. “By giving yourself permission to eat all foods, this can help with food neutrality and removing the moral value of food,” Kolesa adds.
Personally, one of my favorite desserts is fruit pie, crisp or crumble because it is warm, comforting, and satisfying, and it reminds me of my mom who passed down her recipe for apple crisp. Plus, nutritionally it provides me with energizing grains and fruits, along with satiating fats. Of course, I love mine warm with a side of ice cream , another good source of bone-strengthening calcium and vitamin D.
