Episode 29: What is Intuitive Eating and Is It Right For You?
What exactly is intuitive eating and how do you know if it’s the right approach for you?
I first discovered intuitive eating at the end of my recovery from an eating disorder. After being on a meal plan for so long I didn’t know how to trust my body, my hunger or fullness signals, and still had a few food hang-ups I needed to get over.
I was also turning to food as emotional support instead of the previous restriction I was used to which was causing me a lot of anxiety.
However, I can honestly say Intuitive Eating was a game changer and gave me the body freedom I had been searching for through endless other approaches.
As I learned to listen and honour my body, I realised that I needed to share this method with the world — so here we are!
Honestly, intuitive eating really is for everyone and in this podcast I unpack the 10 principles of intuitive eating, how each one can benefit you, and the best ways to get started.
