Food trend. 🤣 That's how we were meant to eat. Kids eat that way immediately. They eat when they are hungry and stop half way in when they're full.

I'm currently relearning that now. It's tough to break old habits of eating when you're emotional, sad, tired, when you want, etc.

Let's stop calling this a diet and call it a lifestyle. Eat when you're hungry not as an accessory when watching movies.

I had always listened to my body and felt significant better for it. I naturally fast too, like I never forced myself to be restrictive I just knew if I’m hungry I’ll eat. So if I’m not hungry all day then I won’t eat all day. I used to go like 2 days every so often without eating and I never felt like week or in pain. But now.. I think I got to used to following other habits that it’s become the norm for me to over eat and to pick the things that make me physically feel bad.

You can also "add another layer" by intuiting where the Little Debbies are.

I have a sensitive digestive system including severe lactose intolerance, so I envy people who can eat whatever and whenever

What if "your body" is telling you to eat 5000 calories of junk food every day?

"I fully endorse, recommend and support Intuitive Eating. If your body says "yes" then eat it"- Jeffrey Dahmer.

Even if one has high cholesterol or high blood pressure, ine can still be in tune with their body and it's cravings. Your body will tell you when you need a salad or veggies, vs. protein, carbs, etc. The key is to try to listen and zoom in on what your body is telling you that you are craving, BEFORE you are starving. Similar to "don't go food shopping when hungry", don't order or make your food once you have passed the hungry stage. It only leads to overeating. It also goes hand in hand with the "eat more, smaller meals throughout the day" concept--which is hard, but if one has healthy snacks on hand, it is doable).

Try 10 5 10 eat for 10 minutes then rest for 5 minutes then eat another 10 minutes. Chew your food slowly

I don’t really understand what it is based on this video

This show is way behind the times, what trend and "gaining popularity"? Intuitive eating has been trending for a couple of years.

I looked this up because it sounds new, it’s a fancy way of saying self control which yea duh you should do this

[edgardominguez]

Intuitive eating is eating whatever and whenever you feel like it; isn’t that what we all eat?
