Intuitive eating acknowledges that our bodies possess innate wisdom about how much and when to eat. Unfortunately, many of us have lost touch with this natural ability due to a constant search for external validation regarding our eating habits. We've become reliant on external cues, such as calorie counts or meal plans, rather than trusting our internal cues.

By embracing intuitive eating and letting go of judgment and rigid rules, we simplify our relationship with food. You might worry that without strict guidelines, you'll only gravitate towards "junk" food. However, research shows that when we remove the labels of "good" and "bad" foods, we naturally gravitate towards balance.

It's the rigid rules and judgments that often lead us to feel out of control around food. For instance, when we tell ourselves we can't have a certain food, it becomes all the more tempting. One cookie can quickly turn into eating the whole box because we feel like we've already "broken the rules."

However, when we give ourselves unconditional permission to eat, the power and allure of certain foods diminish. We can enjoy all foods in moderation without feeling guilty or deprived. Intuitive eating promotes a sense of balance and freedom around food, allowing us to truly savor and appreciate what we eat without fear or restriction.
