I have NO idea how I'm going to be able to stop having the diet mentality or how I'm going to stop listening to the food police inside my head. It all seems so hardwired into me.

I eat ice cream every night however I eat one hefty scoop I eat healthy all day and enjoy my ice cream at night this has helped me so much because I feel good about it. I took the negativity around so called bad food off the table and allow myself to reward my healthy eating habits with my ice cream at night. Wow what a game changer. ❤

Meghan, I’ve been listening to you for a while now but never comment. I do want to Thank you my digestive system is better.I feel happier and Iam making food choices a priority since I’ve been so sick from my stomach. Doctors just give you meds but no other help so I took matter into my hands and study my eating habits and that’s when you came alone and what a difference you have made in my happy belly.. In the past I tried Keto, yes lost weight but what a disaster to my stomach . Now I eat healthy and smaller portion and feel great . The digestive enzymes have made a huge difference in my digestive system. Thank you 🙏

Excellent. More like this please. This is something I REALLY want to be able to do. This is how I want to live the rest of my life. Thank you.

This video is perfect! Your energy is literally what makes your videos worth watching, regardless of the length of time. You can tell you were MEANT to discuss these topics. I can literally feel it when I watch them!

Thank you for making these bc I guarantee you if someone else (who wasn’t meant to create videos on these topics) made your videos and used the exact same words you used, they wouldn’t grab people’s attention the way they do. Thats what you call PURPOSE and your videos are the literal example of what walking in your purpose looks like.

I’m so excited to watch more of your videos, and I wish you nothing but great success ❤️

I recommend the intuitive eating workbook for anyone starting their journey on intuitive eating. It goes in depth and is very useful in helping you through every step

Perfect timing! I literally just picked up their book from library this week! I’m struggling with emotional eating. I move everyday, but I notice that I overeat because I’m very exhausted, and probably other emotions I don’t recognize. We moved into a new county in California this June and we experienced 3 fires! We were evacuated (gosh, just talking about it, I feel like crying) for two weeks, we had no electricity or water. I go on morning walks to help, but I know I need help working through this so I picked up this book to learn how to deal with my diet. Thank you for breaking it down for us! 🙂

Your energy in this video is so contagious! Your passion and enthusiasm about this topic totally shines through. Congratulations on your engagement Megan!

I’m practicing this and I have made strides! My weight is stable I’m never going to bed hungry I don’t over stuff myself I find myself leaving food for later instead of telling myself I’m only allowed 1 meal a day so I better eat it all and all that other bull crap. I feel so much better! I still have the diet mentality but I’m slowly breaking from that. I feel like all people should try this out because it’s helps me a lot to not binge or starve.

I just finished the book and I’m working on the workbook. Powerful stuff, I feel like I’m finally healing my relationship with food and overcoming my Eating Disorder. Great video, I love your explanations.

Thanks so much for this video. Just referenced it in a blog article talking about the benifits of intuitive eating for mums because its such a great introduction to the concept of intuitive eating. Thank you Meghan

[martinabreda]

Very illuminating! I really want to stop worrying about what I eat. This is definitely a healthy way to eat food! Thanks a lot ❤

[SheenaSpeaks]

The ONLY exercise I am able to convince my stubborn, messed up brain to do I'd stuff that is fun.
Gardening.
Mushrooming out in the woods.
Dancing.
Playing with my dogs.
I am trying so very hard to trust myself lately.
I keep trying to skip to the last step.
But I'm doing it.
I've been doing this without realizing it. Lol
I just made a decision to listen to how my body and mind feel.
30lbs down, blood sugar MUCH closer to normal.
Clothes fit again.
I fit better in MY VAN.

One thing i have to thank you millions of times is that from one of your videos you have opened the secret about taking time while eating 12:20 what your also mention here, putting the fork down that's when my eating turned to the better i can sleep better, don't feel bloated etc. Overall i feel i got more control over it now that i made this a habit

Great video! We are both in our 80's and feel better than ever! We are all about healthy aging -- maintaining a strong body, a calm mind, and a very positive outlook. We are doing research for our new Healthy-Aging Advice YouTube channel to make it a success. Our hope is to inspire others. Learned a lot here. Thank-you.

[russbayo]

Very refreshing approach on the topic! Cheers🌟🌟🌟

[mariaamundsen]

Thank you Meghan, and congratulations on your engagement, it’s wonderful to be young and so much to look forward to:)
I appreciate the information on intuitive eating, makes so much sense. We hear so much these days on diets and this food is good and that isn’t, then they change it all around, and all of a sudden the bad food is good, so confusing!!! I appreciate your perspective and it’s so reasonable. Thanks again:) 😊

[lindaallen]

Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT info! From someone who has battled disordered eating my whole adult life, intuitive eating is something I’ve been practicing recently. I’ve given up my food rules and restrictions and all my “healthy cookbooks” (they were feeding an orthorexia tendency) and have rediscovered a more relaxed attitude about food. Some days I don’t even think about what I’m eating and if it’s “healthy” or not. I eat what I want but honestly most of what I eat is pretty darn healthy and if I feel like I’m obsessing some days then I go have a donut. Just to keep myself honest. 😉

[aloras]

It’s a very difficult week for me but your video is helping. Thank you.

I wish I saw this video ages ago. It makes so much sense
