Intuitive Eating

Intuitive eating is an eating philosophy that makes you an authority on your body and the signs of hunger.

By fact it is the opposite of a conventional diet. This does not enforce rules on what to avoid and what to eat, or when.

Rather, it encourages you to be the right person— the only person — to make those choices.

This article is a comprehensive guide to intuitive eating for beginners.

Intuitive eating is an eating style which promotes a healthy eating and body image attitude.

The theory that when you are hungry you can feed and stop when you're finished.

It should be an easy method though, it's not for other people.

Trusting diet books and so-called experts will lead you away from trusting your body and its instincts about what, when, and how to eat.

You can need to relearn how to trust your body, to eat intuitively. You need to differentiate between physical and emotional hunger to do this: physical hunger. This biological impulse is asking you to fill nutrients up. This slowly develops and has numerous signs, such as a growling stomach, nausea or irritability. If you eat some food it is satisfied.

We are all naturally born intuitive eaters. Babies are moaning, feeding and then not feeding before they get hungry again. Children innately regulate their week-to-week food consumption, feeding when they're hungry and stopping until they feel full. We can consume a lot of food a few days, and they can consume hardly anything at other days. As we grow older and food regulations and restrictions are set, we lose our intuitive eater from within.

Intuitive eating does not reflect a diet. It's the exact opposite, really. There are no calories or macros to count, and no items to keep off limits. It's not about following a meal schedule or weighing your portions (actually all of that's discouraged!).
