#22 - Why Healthy Eating Should Not Look Like Dieting, Award Winning Chef & Dietitian Ellie Krieger

Is your healthy eating plan really a diet? Most of today’s diets
look like healthy recipes touting the benefits of eating
wholesome foods, but they also carry with it a bunch of
ridiculous (and restrictive) rules. I’m looking at you, “no beans
allowed” Paleo lovers. In this episode, I chat with award winning
chef, dietitian, and mom Ellie Krieger. She shares how she has
been burned by gimmicky weight loss diets from her modeling days
and why it’s so important to her to sit down as a family and
enjoy a delicious meal together. Ellie shares some fabulous tips
for getting food on the table without overthinking it and she
helps you understand why a little butter and salt can be a good
thing.
