Intuitive Eating

Intuitive Eating

Calorie counting, diet cycling, and loads of food guilt. Sound familiar? Intuitive eating may be the answer.

We have diet culture to thank for our body image woes, and that’s because corporations first sell us unhealthy food that detracts from our health, and then we’re sold the promise of yet another restrictive diet as the ultimate – and only – solution.

Today my guest and I answer a listener’s question about the fundamentals of mindful eating. Claire Chewning is a Registered Dietician who believes we can recover from the negative mental, emotional, and physical effects of diet culture by first rejecting the food and weight messages our culture bombards us with every single day.

 

Here’s a preview:

[5:30] An introduction to the 10 principles of intuitive eating

[6:45] The problems associated with diet culture (plus: how diet culture keeps us unhealthy)

[9:30] Distinguishing between calorie deficits and health promoting behaviors

[11:00] The un-learning process as it relates to internalized lies regarding size and self-worth

[23:00] Can mindful eating help emotional eaters?
