What Intuitive Eating is
Intuitive Eating is an evidenced-based, mind-body self-care framework for eating, comprised of 10 principles, that involves reconnecting with one’s internal wisdom. Ultimately, Intuitive Eating is an empowerment tool that equips you with the knowledge and ability to make the very personal decisions that honor your health by listening to your body to meet your physical and psychological needs. Intuitive Eating is all about you because YOU are the expert of your body.
What Intuitive Eating isn’t
Intuitive Eating is not a diet. It is not a new set of rules to be followed (or broken for that matter). There is no expectation of doing it perfectly; in fact, working through IE is likely to bring up vulnerabilities, systems of belief that contradict with your values, and other heavy things that might lead to some messiness at different stages. This is why it is so important that you have a safe space and work with someone to help you feel supported during this process.
