Ep 13: Eat What You Want, Eat What You Need with Evelyn Tribole

Hey guys, have you ever heard of Intuitive Eating? Did you know it is a bestselling book? Oh, but definitely not one of those diet books! Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program that Works, is a way of eating and living that is in line with our values. Intuitive Eating helps transform your relationship with food and eating so you don’t get caught up in the gimmicks and tricks of fad diets, or pseudo-science-based nutrition programs. Listen in to this episode as my guest Evelyn Tribole and I chat about topics like interoceptive awareness, satisfaction, and how we can hone our hunger and fullness cues to enhance our health and well-being. Evelyn is not only a fellow registered dietitian nutritionist, she is co-author of Intuitive Eating, an icon in the nutrition world, and she’s been a mentor of mine for over 12 years. Evelyn travels around the world to speak to various groups and organizations in numerous countries about the benefits of Intuitive Eating. Listen in as Evelyn and I talk about how us guys can apply the principles of Intuitive Eating to optimize our health. We talk about the 10 Intuitive Eating Principles, such as Rejecting the Diet Mentality, Making Peace with Food, and my favorite, Discovering the Satisfaction. We explore what it means to be full after a complete plate of food but still have “room” for dessert or a few more pints of beer. We also discuss what Interoceptive Awareness is, how it affects our perception of physical sensations. We also dive deep into how crazy food rules and rigid diets burn us out in the long-term. Tune in for this insightful interview and discover a new leaf on life, free from those extreme diets and crazy food rules that dominate our culture.
