Including all foods in your diet while losing weight is important for sustainability.
If you're gaining weight, you may need to reassess portion size and overall lifestyle, dietitian Priya Tew said.
Working on your mindset and challenging your thoughts around food is crucial for lasting change, registered nutritionist Rhiannon Lambert said.
Dear Rachel,
I eat relatively healthy and like to be active in a variety of ways but for the last year, I have struggled to lose weight. When I eat less healthy, it's because I want to enjoy food that falls under the 'guilty pleasure' category (pizza, bagels, desserts). Years ago when I tried to lose weight, I eliminated these and other food groups and developed a very unhealthy relationship with both food and exercise. While I've now decided it's healthier to enjoy these foods in moderation, I feel this is what has caused my weight gain (10-20 lbs over the last few years).
