Intuitive Eating Is A Framework
- Intuitive eating is a framework, not a diet, developed to improve relationship with food rather than optimize body composition.
- It often yields benefits like improved body image, self-esteem, and some cardiometabolic markers in trials.
Use It Selectively With Coaching
- Use intuitive eating tools selectively alongside coaching if you have fitness or physique goals rather than as the sole strategy.
- Recognize it's unlikely the optimal method for maximizing body composition but can help with flexibility and psychological outcomes.
Evidence Supports Psychological Gains
- Trials of intuitive eating show varied results but consistent psychological and some health improvements rather than guaranteed body-composition change.
- Outcomes include better body acceptance, decreased food preoccupation, and improvements in some cardiometabolic markers.
