Embracing Intuitive Eating
Acknowledging the suffering caused by following diet culture rules, such as loss of control eating and disconnection from self and relationships, is a crucial first step. Recognizing the impact of these behaviors can lead to a desire to break free from the suffering. Intuitive eating starts with exploring the concept of satisfaction, which often requires individuals to embark on a journey of self-discovery in understanding what brings them satisfaction in terms of food. This approach emphasizes that individuals are the experts of their own bodies and experiences, contrasting with external factors promoted by diet culture like counting, measuring, and weighing. By gradually letting go of these external influences, individuals can shift towards intuitive eating.
