Have you ever tried to follow a rigid diet plan? Do you often think about dieting? Do you ever feel guilty when indulging in your favorite treats? If you answered \u201cyes\u201d to any of these questions, Intuitive Eating may be just what you need to feel freedom around food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is intuitive eating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIntuitive Eating\u201d is a relatively new trend. The phrase was first coined in 1995 by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in their book, Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Diet Program That Works.<\/em>2  <\/sup>In short, it is the act of listening to your body when deciding when and what to eat. In contrast to traditional diet approaches, which involve changing (and often restricting) what you eat, Intuitive Eating offers an opportunity to shift how you eat. It challenges the idea that foods are either \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cbad.\u201d Rather than placing an unhealthy emphasis on weight loss, Intuitive Eating focuses on creating a healthy relationship with food by listening to your body\u2019s natural hunger cues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why try intuitive eating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diet culture is pervasive in the U.S. Search the internet, listen to the news, read a magazine \u2013 we are constantly bombarded by messages to eat this way or that way; messages that tell us we don\u2019t know how to eat \u201cright.\u201d Traditional diets are not only restrictive; they require a lot of mental energy, which is difficult to maintain for long periods of time. It\u2019s no wonder why popular diets fail so many of their followers \u2013 these diets are unrealistic and unsustainable. Ignoring hunger cues, eliminating your favorite foods, or feeling like a failure if you eat the \u201cwrong\u201d foods is incredibly challenging and is bound to lead to burn out. Intuitive Eating challenges this mindset by promoting the idea that food is morally neutral. With Intuitive Eating, you rely on listening to what your body wants to eat, rather than following rigid diet rules.2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intuitive Eating also emphasizes mindful eating rather than emotional eating. Emotional eating may look like grabbing a bag of chips after a hard day, eating them without considering if you actually want to eat them, and then getting to the bottom of the bag and still feeling unfulfilled. Alternatively, mindful eating would be acknowledging that the chips may bring you some joy, choosing to eat and savor them, and stopping when you are full. Either way, you got to eat the chips. With mindful eating, the chips were an intentional, mindful choice. In this way, Intuitive Eating helps you to fully enjoy what you eat (without the guilt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Principles of intuitive eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Intuitive Eating is guided by 10 principles<\/a>,1 <\/sup>summarized as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Reject the Diet Mentality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Reject trendy diets and let go of ideas that promise easy weight loss. Break the cycle of constantly being \u201con a diet\u201d and feeling like a failure when the diet doesn\u2019t go as expected. Free yourself of the mental load that comes with food restriction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Honor Your Hunger<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hunger is your body telling you that you need food – listen to your body! When we don\u2019t eat enough, we are bound to overeat. Allowing yourself to eat when you are hungry is the first step in rebuilding a healthy relationship with food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Make Peace with Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Make food your friend, not your enemy. If you restrict yourself from eating certain foods, the desire for those foods will intensify until you give in, overeat, and then feel guilty about it. If you want a certain food, give yourself permission to eat it and enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Challenge the Food Police<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The food police live in your head and all around you. The food police tell you that you are \u201cgood\u201d for eating the \u201cright\u201d foods and \u201cbad\u201d for eating the \u201cwrong\u201d foods. Challenge this nonsense by turning away from these thoughts and accepting that food is morally neutral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Discover the Satisfaction Factor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Find pleasure in the experience of eating food. Eat the foods you want, in an enjoyable environment, and find yourself satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Feel Your Fullness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Listen to your body. Feel the signals that tell you that you are full. Eat slowly, taste your food, and pause when needed to ask yourself if you are full. Stop eating when you are full. If your plate is not empty, store food for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Cope with Your Emotions with Kindness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Explore a variety of options for coping with your feelings. Strong emotions may trigger us to use food for comfort, but food can\u2019t fix the root of the problem. Be kind to yourself as you work to address the source of your emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Respect Your Body<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All bodies are different and all bodies deserve respect. It would be unreasonable to expect a shorter person to \u201cwork on\u201d being taller, and the same goes for body size. Accepting all body shapes and sizes allows us to feel better about who we are and to reject the diet culture that thrives off of body shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Movement \u2013 Feel the Difference<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Exercise need not require a rigorous workout routine. Simply move your body in a way that feels good rather than worrying about how many calories you are burning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Honor Your Health \u2013 Gentle Nutrition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is no \u201cright way\u201d when it comes to eating or health. Choose foods that fuel your body and help you to feel good. Make time for eating. Eating healthy foods on a regular basis is what matters most. What you eat for one snack, one meal, or even what you eat for a couple of days does not define whether your diet is \u201chealthy\u201d or not. Be gentle with yourself and your progress toward a healthier self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Studies have shown that practicing Intuitive Eating offers a lot of benefits. People who eat intuitively are more likely to have higher confidence levels, healthier body image, and an overall better relationship with food. Eating intuitively may also decrease the likelihood of disordered eating patterns and negative body image.3,4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Getting started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Without judgment, reflect on your eating habits. Are you intentional about making time to eat so that your body has enough fuel to help you feel good and thrive every day? Do you \u201cpower through\u201d feeling hungry instead of honoring your hunger by eating? Do you already eat intuitively, or are your food choices based on internal and external pressures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning to listen to your body can feel strange at first. Body cues are more than just your stomach growling. It can be grouchiness, feeling fatigued, a mild headache, or thoughts about food. These are all indicators that your body is trying to tell you that it needs food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you learn to listen more closely to your body, try using all your senses when eating. When you take a bite to eat, try smelling the food first; take the first bite with your eyes closed; feel the texture in your mouth. Notice how your body feels after each bite. This will help to build your mindful eating skills, promote a healthy relationship with food, and perhaps even give you more insight into the foods that you enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Small steps toward a more intuitive you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By practicing the principles of Intuitive Eating, you are on your way to building a happier and healthier relationship with food, and with yourself. Remember, change can be hard, and change takes time. Empower yourself to reject diet culture and try something new \u2013 today! Pick 1 of the 10 principles of Intuitive Eating and try it out. If it intrigues you, try another principle tomorrow. Because the world needs more of us who want to eat all the foods, and enjoy them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
