The Importance of Flexibility in Diets

There have been studies since the 90s that compare rigid dietary approaches to flexible approaches. When somebody thinks of food is good or bad, I think Alan Aragon called it a straining the moral conscience. The control of this rigidity causes a lack of control because you end up binging. And on the other hand, a flexible approach is we're going to set some targets for energy and for macronutrients but then you're going to choose the food.
