The short answer: Yes! After you have completed your detox and finished off maintenance (which is crucial for solidifying your results and strengthening long term habit change), we recommend basing your ongoing diet around the lessons you have learnt while on your SBN program, while also allowing for slightly more flexibility and ‘soul food’.
In your day to day life, it is a great practice to choose the healthiest carb options possible - sourdough bread over white bread, or quinoa over couscous, black bean spaghetti over wheat spaghetti. With a base diet of nutritionally dense wholefoods to hold you in good stead, you may choose to enjoy more ‘soul food’ (this may be more processed or contain ingredients that you usually choose to avoid, such as processed sugar, saturated fats etc) on special occasions, without the need to feel guilty! Savour the flavour, enjoy the company, and feel happy knowing you will continue on nourishing your body once this particular meal is finished.
