Healthy Pumpkin Pie

Health is all about balance. And balance includes eating 𝐭𝐡𝐞 “𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥” 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 pumpkin pie every so often. Listen to your body and do so with a positive outlook. ⁣It also includes making modifications to the “real” versions to honor cravings.

While a diet should include 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, strive for balance to avoid over-indulging in high sugar & high-fat foods. This can cause feelings of guilt & shame.⁣
