Why You Won’t Find Nutrition Details in Our Recipes: Embracing Food Freedom
Why You Won’t Find Nutrition Details in Our Recipes: Embracing Food Freedom
Here at Curvy As Fork, you might have noticed something different about our recipes—they don’t come with nutritional information like carbs, protein and calories. That’s no oversight; it’s a conscious decision rooted in a simple yet powerful belief: food is neither inherently good nor bad, and obsessing over numbers can really mess with our heads.
Food Neutrality: Embracing Balance Over Numbers
We’re dedicated to a philosophy where food is celebrated for its flavours, the experiences it offers, and its ability to bring us together, not for its calorie count or carb content. When we label foods with numbers, we risk reducing these culinary delights to mere equations—’good’ if the numbers are low, ‘bad’ if they’re high. This can lead to food guilt and anxiety, which isn’t what eating should be about. And these numbers don’t tell the whole story.
The Impact of Numbers on Our Eating Experience
Focusing too intensely on macros or calories can distort our relationship with food. It encourages a diet mentality where eating becomes a math problem instead of a pleasurable activity. This is the core reason why we choose not to include nutritional labels on our recipes. We want to help you break free from the cycle of judging food and yourself, encouraging a more mindful and joyful eating experience.
Mindful Eating: Savouring Food Without Judgment
It’s also why we embrace and promote mindful eating—being present with your food, enjoying each bite, and listening to what your body needs without the noise of numbers. This approach supports eating what truly satisfies you, rather than what a nutrition label prescribes.
Supporting All Eaters
We recognize that some of you may have specific dietary needs or health conditions that require careful management of nutrients. For those cases, we encourage you to consult with a healthcare provider or a nutritionist who can offer you personalized advice, fitting your unique health requirements. You might also pop our recipes in to a food app that has the capacity to analyze and give you the info you need.
At the end of the day, our recipes are crafted to delight, nourish, and bring joy. By skipping the nutrition labels, we invite you to rediscover the pleasure of eating and to celebrate food in its most joyful form. Join us as we focus on what truly matters: delicious, satisfying meals that bring us together.
