There is NO FOOD that you need to avoid if you want to lose weight and tone up. Period.

You can include ANY and EVERY food you like on your weight loss journey, and still get results, as long as you are in a caloric deficit.

I do recommend that 80% of your daily calories come from whole, nutrient-dense foods that include high quality protein and fibre—so that you are nourished, full, and satisfied by your meals. With the other 20%, I urge you to include foods you LOVE.

[I say 80/20, but this can look more like 90/10 or even 70/30 to start, if eating 80 percent whole foods is a far cry from where you’re currently at.]

Including “fun” and pleasurable foods in your diet helps to heal your relationship to food, support your mental health, and prevent the endless rollercoaster ride of hell that is the overrestriction--bingeing food cycle.
