When some people hear the term \u201cintuitive eating,\u201d they imagine the bonkers\u00a0myth that it means eating pizza and cookies all day. And for some folks starting their intuitive eating journey, meals may look like that (which is okay!), especially if they\u2019ve been depriving themselves of those foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, that\u2019s not quite what intuitive eating is. In short, it\u2019s a way of eating that pays attention to what your body\u2014not society\u2014is telling you it needs and wants. It says \u201cno\u201d to things like dieting, shaming yourself for eating certain foods, using food as a sole coping skill, or eating what and how much you think you \u201cshould.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a way to respect and trust your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
