My approach to Intuitive Eating

I agree 100% about the concept of "eating when hungry", stopping when full and not denying yourself the odd treat. However, there are a couple of differences in my approach and philosophy.

Firstly, Intuitive Eating is not just about listening to your body to tell you when to eat and how much. It is also about letting your body tell you what to eat- what it needs or feels like now. This is not the same as eating what your mind tells you it feels like. I will explain in further detail soon.

For some of you who are either very overweight or who have had a dysfunctional relationship with food for a long time (whether due to constant diets, binging, anorexia, etc) with , you may be so out of touch with your "intuition" about eating, that it will take a lot of attention and awareness to get back to the state where it becomes natural and second nature.

However, there are several wonderful things about this process. The first thing is that just by trying you will get some benefit- there is no such thing as failing. Because even if you only get one tiny thing out of this it will still be one tiny thing better than what was there before. The second wonderful thing is that everyone has an intuitive eater inside of them. I promise you that is true. Please ignore all of the junk that has crowded your head over the years: that its genetics, that there is something biologically wrong with your head or your body or that you are plain greedy or bad. How can I be so sure? Its simple, because the intuitive eater is you.

Rather than explain all of this to you in words, I'm going to simply show you how to get there, prove to you why it works, and explain what I need to along the way. Let's begin.
