Intuitive eating is getting out of the diet mindset. Many people jump from diet to diet. Keto, vegan, low-carb, then keto again. But that's not the way to go. By doing it, you're totally wrecking your metabolism.
With intuitive eating, you focus on SLOWING DOWN and listening to your body's cues. It's about you having power over your foods and not the foods having power over you. It's about eating when you truly feel hungry and then stopping when satisfied.
Intuitive eating also means choosing foods that make you feel good and energized instead of bloated, tired, or regretful afterward.
It sounds so simple. But where do you start? How can you trust that your body knows what it needs? How do you tap into your body's cues?
