Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works

Product Information

By challenging diet culture, encouraging self-compassion, and offering practical tools for tuning into the body's cues, they can guide readers towards a more empowered, peaceful relationship with food—one where eating becomes an act of self-care, rather than a source of stress. The most practical tip I can give is to make the seeking of satisfaction be the primary goal in eating. There are way too many fantastic points to list here, but I very highly recommend this book if you feel it's high time you stop punishing yourself, and instead, start honoring yourself!

This way of eating allows you to not restrict ANY food types like other plans but to develop a healthy relationship with food. Even once you know what intuitive eating is, you may have trouble staying on track and not falling back into your old diet patterns.This study also validated a fourth characteristic of Intuitive Eaters—the Body-Food Choice Congruence, which reflects the Gentle Nutrition principle and how food feels in your body (Tylka and Kroon Van Diest 2013). D., is the author of Eating on the Run (Leisure Press, 1992) and Healthy Homestyle Cooking (Rodale Books, Fall 1994). It’s a big, beautiful world filled with compassion, health, respect, mindfulness, and gentle nutrition practices that benefit your physical and mental health.

It is a process that releases the shackles of dieting (which can only lead to deprivation, rebellion, and rebound weight gain).Be sure to tell them that if they have a binge, it can actually turn out to be a great experience, because they’ll learn so much about their thoughts and feelings, as a result of the binge.

The failure of dieting is that it promotes weight stigma by not recognizing that people come in all sizes and shapes and that each individual is worthy just as they are. Plan on eating this way for the rest of your life and shelve that mentality of eating a certain way for 6 weeks to drop 20 pounds.

If you’re ready to ditch the diet (or at least think about it), this list of the best books on intuitive eating can get you started and keep you inspired. I wish, wish, wish that every one of my friends who struggles with her weight, thinks she should diet, or who mentally tallies in her mind what she’s eaten that day or that week to determine if she can eat that “cookie” (or whatever) would read this book.Even though I believed in eating when I was hungry and stopping when full, often I would make a mental tally of what I’d eaten that day, or think that I “could” eat 3-4 cookies because of how far I’d run that morning.
