According to one global consumer survey, nearly half of people who made New Year's resolutions last year wanted to change what they ate and how much they exercised. Andrea Walker argues that it's time to start thinking about feeding ourselves in the same intuitive way that we think about other bodily needs. She says taking time to listen to your wise inner hunger voice can help you avoid the shame that comes from outside diet advice.
Everyone has a view about what you should eat and how much. We're so bombarded with fad diets, fasting plans and nutritional advice that we can bounce from one way of eating to another without stopping to think: "What do I want to eat?"
Psychotherapist Andrea Wachter endured years of disordered eating and obsessing about her weight, until she decided to heed her inner voice and what her body wanted to consume. She explains to Dr Laurie Santos how so-called intuitive eating can free us from both diets and overeating.
