The Power of Intuitive Eating

Intuitive eating is a non-diet framework that focuses on cultivating a healthy and peaceful relationship with food. It was created by dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elise Resch in 1995 and has been extensively studied and proven effective. Intuitive eating emphasizes self-connection and listening to our body's internal cues. It teaches individuals to trust their body's hunger and fullness signals rather than relying on external rules or diets. Research has shown that intuitive eating is associated with improved psychological health, well-being, and a positive relationship with food. Implementing intuitive eating can lead to increased satisfaction with eating experiences and improved overall quality of life.
