What is food displacement?

There's a big difference between a healthy diet to which treats are occasionally added and an 'all-treat diet.' In the former, unhealthy foods are consumed rarely and in addition to healthy foods. In the latter, unhealthy foods are consumed often and instead of healthy foods. This is called 'food displacement' and must be avoided if optimal body composition and health are your goals. Don't displace nutrient dense food with empty calories!
