Short answer? No. And believing you do might actually be holding you back.

In this episode I break down:
• Why you don’t need to label foods as “good” or “bad”
• How the 80/20 approach supports fat loss, health and sustainability
• Why restriction often leads to binge–restrict cycles
• How including flexible foods protects your relationship with food
• The role of fibre and micronutrients (without obsessing over perfection)
• Why processed food isn’t the real problem — calories and consistency matter most
• Why balance beats extremes every single time

You don’t need to live on salads.
You don’t need to cut out your favourite foods.
You don’t need another all-or-nothing plan.

You need structure, balance, and a method you can actually maintain as a busy mum.
