Ep. 11 - Claire Chewning - Intuitive Eating

On today’s epIsode, I had registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, Claire Chewning on the show! . Claire and I first connected back when I was starting my own weight loss journey, as I was able to relate to a lot of what she was sharing and learned a lot from her. . I wanted to have her on the show to discuss more about intuitive eating because, while I am a coach that has personally lost weight through counting calories, and that is now what I teach my clients, I know there are other ways to achieve similar results. We both came into this with a mutual feeling that one way is not better than the other and everyone has what works best for them. So, with that, the point of todays episode is not to sway you to one side or the other, but to inform you and educate you about intuitive eating. . In the episode, we discussed: . What is intuitive eating? . Do you have to have an understanding of tracking calories or macros to be able to intuitively eat? Is tracking beneficial prior to switching? . Her thought on one of the principles of IE, Honoring your Health: Gentle Nutrition. . Struggling with restriction and making peace with food. . How do you measure progress? How do you know if you’re in a calorie deficit if you are not tracking? . Is intuitive eating just for weight loss? . What do you do when your “inner hungry b*tch” says “EAT IT ALL!” . How Claire transitions a client from a restrictive eating background int intuitive eating… or what about from an overeating background? . Thanks again, Claire, for coming onto the show! It was a pleasure chatting with you! If you want to connect with Claire, you can on: IG: @clairechewning TikTok: @clairechewning clairechewning.com  Podcast: The Yours Chewly Podcast .
