10 Healthy Habits You Can Break (Sometimes) While Staying Incredibly Healthy

07 Jul 10 Healthy Habits You Can Break (Sometimes) While Staying Incredibly Healthy

Here’s an excerpt from an informative article by Dr. Amy Shah, M.D. about the 10 rules that healthy people (experts, trainers, doctors and celebrities) allow themselves to break while staying incredibly healthy.

This is an actual tweet I read from a reputable health site recently:

“No sweets, no cakes, no white bread, no chips, no fast food, no ice cream. Do it for 21 days = Results.”

Ok, but … what do you do on day 22?

Do they really think that people can follow a series of rigid 21-day diets their entire lives?

I was a prisoner of this mentality for many years, and I see it all around me today. People feel guilt, obsession, and even shame from breaking diet rules.

I wish I’d known back then what I know now which is this: the experts, trainers, doctors, and even the celebrities that you think are the healthiest all break the so-called “rules.” Yet they remain incredibly fit and healthy. The point is that life goes on, even after that donut. Give yourself permission and stay mindful.
