Balance to me used to mean, if you want the cookie, have the cookie, just make sure you had a balanced meal.
Balance to me today means, a lot more. What do I really want? How do I want to feel? Does this support my health or take away from it?
I can have whatever I want whenever I want it. The question is what do I really want?
The answer might be different situation to situation. It might be different person to person. It might be different meal to meal and day to day. But the goal is to have the tools and knowledge to make the right decisions for YOU.
