    Today, healthy lifestyle habits have gained importance as they increase awareness of the factors that affect health itself. This trend represents a latent opportunity for future ventures that address this market, achieving the product attributes desired by the consumer. The object of this work is the understanding of the motivators and inhibitors for the consumption of baked products, as well as the prioritization of them and the knowledge of their causes within the most relevant consumer segment, in this case, women from the middle and upper middle class of the city of Medellín between 21 and 34 years old. Baked products are one of the categories with the greatest relevance and growth potential within the healthy basket. This research served to understand the type of motivation associated with the consumption of this type of food, which is a motivation focused on achieving balance between mind, soul and body, to detach from bad eating habits, to move away from industrialized foods and even to have a positive social impact in the community. In addition to this, the main motivators for the consumption of this type of food were identified, such as the contribution to health and nutrition, the freshness reflecting its naturalness, the tranquility of eating bread "without guilt" and finally medical reasons for intolerance to certain ingredients of traditional industrialized bread. It was also found that one of the essential characteristics of this type of product is good taste, since consumers are not willing to sacrifice taste to maintain a healthy diet.
