Today's episode is all about intuitive eating and tips for doing it right. Intuitive eating is an approach to food and nutrition that emphasizes trusting and reconnecting with your body’s natural signals of hunger, fullness, and satisfaction, rather than tracking food or following strict diets. First, we discuss the key principles of intuitive eating, which include rejecting the dieting culture mentality. Then, we explore the pros, cons, and realities of adopting this approach. For those interested in trying intuitive eating, we outline the "rules of the road" and important considerations. While we consider intuitive eating as an ideal way to eat, it also presents some challenges—which are highlighted in the friction between this method and the way our culture generally relates to food.
In this episode, we discuss:
