Tutorial 1.3 Intuitive Eating

Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to food and nourishment that encourages a person to trust their body and its hunger cues.


Here are some key aspects of intuitive eating:
  1. Reject the Diet Mentality: Intuitive eating is the opposite of a traditional diet. It doesn't impose guidelines about what to avoid and what or when to eat.
  2. Honor Your Hunger: This philosophy encourages you to respond to your early signs of hunger by feeding your body. It distinguishes between physical hunger, which is a biological urge that can be satisfied with any food, and emotional hunger, which is driven by emotional need.
  3. Make Peace with Food: Intuitive eating invites you to permit yourself to eat whatever you want without feeling guilty.
  4. Respect Your Fullness: You're encouraged to listen for the signals that tell you that you're no longer hungry.
  5. Discover the Satisfaction Factor: This principle focuses on the pleasure and satisfaction that can be derived from eating. 
  6. Feel Your Body's Respect: It's about feeling good in your body and treating it with dignity.
  7. Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness: This principle acknowledges that food restriction can trigger loss of control and emotional eating.
  8. Movement and Nutrition: Intuitive eating encourages you to make food choices that honor your health and taste buds, and to find a way to move your body that feels good.
Intuitive eating is about creating a healthier relationship with food, and it's a journey that evolves over time. It's not about being perfect; it's about striving to listen to your body and meeting its needs.
