“Intuitive Eating is just a hunger/fullness diet.” Intuitive Eating does work through listening to hunger and fullness cues, but there is so much more to it! Unlike dieting, there’s no “right or wrong”, “black or white”, “on or off” with Intuitive Eating. Intuitive Eating is a practice, not a destination! It is based on 10 principles that guide you to body trust by moving you away from dieting, restriction, and rigid rules.

By practicing Intuitive Eating, you can feel empowered to be the expert of your own body. Intuitive Eating offers a way to ditch the diets, the diet cycle, and the shame, and find an authentic way of honoring health. Exercise may feel like something you have to do instead of something you choose to do and enjoy doing. Different diets come with different rules, which produces a lot of confusion and conflict surrounding what to eat and what to avoid. For many, this cycle leads to mistrusting the body and a worse body image. Likely, there is some guilt and shame surrounding eating that has stuck around. If you’ve ever been on a weight loss or “wellness” diet, you might be familiar with the effects of rigid rules and restriction and maybe you’ve experienced the on-and-off-again cycle of dieting. Decrease loss-of-control eating and binge eating.Improve overall health, including decreasing blood pressure and cholesterol.Intuitive Eating has been the focus of research and the results are promising.
