Principles of Intuitive Eating
- Intuitive eating means eating for physical, not emotional or environmental reasons using internal hunger and satiety cues.
- Practice mindfulness and give yourself unconditional permission to eat when hungry and choose desired foods.
Know Your Foods First
- Learn macronutrient composition and calorie content before starting intuitive eating.
- Use tracking apps initially and transition gradually to intuition informed by experience.
Acceptance Beats Control For Cravings
- Acceptance-based approaches to cravings can work better for those sensitive to food cues.
- Mindfulness helps you accept cravings without judgment instead of suppressing them.
