Ep 85 Intuitive Eating for Beginners

How many times have you mentioned "Intuitive Eating" and the response was "that doesn't work for me! I'd just eat cakes and cookies all day. No thanks!"? Or maybe you're reading this as a newbie to IE feeling like it just doesn't add up to living a healthy life… Whichever it is, this is a common response - and misconception! - from anyone who doesn't actually understand what Intuitive Eating is! Which is a shame because that means they are potentially missing out on something that can be incredibly life changing in the most amazing and meaningful way! I'm hoping this long overdue episode will change that. Today, I'm discussing what Intuitive Eating is for anyone who is just hearing about it for the very first time or doesn't fully understand it and is open to learning more.

I review each of the 10 principles that make up the Intuitive Eating framework. Understanding these 10 principles is key to seeing how nuanced IE really is. If you're new to intuitive eating and food freedom, I share some red flags to help you recognize someone's awareness and expertise on the subject as far as Intuitive Eating is concerned.
