What even is intuitive eating?

I heard about this on TikTok and I was so intrigued by the idea. As a person who’s done almost every diet ever and was looking to lose weight in the healthiest most sustainable way possible this idea intrigued me.

The main take away (as I am not a medical professional) is to eat when you are hungry and to listen to your body for what it needs.

For everyone this may look a little different. For me this includes eating breakfast at 8:30 or 10:30 depending when I’m hungry. It may look like having grilled chicken and an orange at 9 am and eggs with toast at 9 pm.

I have lost 20 lbs since the beginning of the year JUST by incorporating this into my life. No cutting things out, no new gym routine, just eating what my body needs.

Overtime this has become almost second nature. I don’t even notice it sometimes I just take two bites of a granola bar then eat the rest when I want the rest.

Intuitive eating is more than just a weight loss strategy; it's a lifestyle that encourages a healthy relationship with food. The core principles of intuitive eating involve abandoning the diet mentality and tuning into your body’s natural cues about hunger and fullness. By respecting your body’s signals, you can foster a more satisfying eating experience that is personalized to your needs. Studies show that intuitive eating can impact not only physical health by promoting sustainable weight management but also mental well-being, reducing the stress associated with restrictive diets. Incorporating mindfulness practices can enhance your ability to listen to your body, making it easier to identify emotions that may trigger unhealthy eating behaviors. For those new to intuitive eating, it starts with being curious about your eating patterns. Keep a food journal, not to track calories, but to note how foods make you feel physically and emotionally. You may find that certain foods provide lasting satisfaction while others leave you feeling sluggish. The intuitive eating guide can serve as a resource in your journey, offering insights on incorporating this practice into your daily routine. Overall, embracing intuitive eating can lead to long-term health benefits, a more enjoyable eating experience, and the freedom to eat what you love without guilt.

What is intuitive eating? & does it work

I’ve been intuitive for the last 4 years. Minus a short 5 month period 2 years ago I LOVE intuitive eating & truly believe that it should be the end goal. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to track my macros for the rest of my life & I don’t want my clients to have to either.

The title slide for a post about stopping overeating, stating, "I COULDN'T STOP Eating... UNTIL I LEARNED THIS." It highlights how to stop eating out of emotion, not hunger, with a call to "SWIPE TO LEARN MORE." The background shows a desk with a plant and an open book.

This slide explains that overeating is often the brain seeking comfort, escape, stimulation, or control, not hunger. It emphasizes identifying the 'why' behind eating and notes that external cues can trigger eating without hunger. The title is "What Overeating Really is."

Titled "Emotional Eating Triggers," this slide lists signs like eating when bored/sad/anxious, feeling guilty, lacking physical hunger, and continuing to eat when full. It explains emotional eating as a learned coping mechanism, not a willpower failure, driven by emotional triggers.
