Intuitive Eating
What is Intuitive Eating?
Intuitive Eating is a self-care framework and anti-diet approach to eating and exercise. It includes 10 principles to help build self-trust and make peace with food. It is backed by over 125 published research studies of its benefits.
The Intuitive Eating framework may be beneficial for those experiencing:
Guilt around eating choices
Eating that feels rigid and/or out of control
A history of dieting or weight cycling
Body comparing, checking, and dissatisfaction
Compulsive exercise
As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I help clients process emotions that arise around eating and exercise as they work through these 10 principles. I focus on increasing self-compassion and coping skills as parts of the healing process.
I am happy to recommend books, podcasts, and articles if you would like to learn more about this emerging approach!
