Studies show that this eating style is associated with positive body image and self-esteem. Psychologist Susan Albers, PsyD, discusses the principles of intuitive eating and how to apply them in your own life.

The body is smart. If we would listen to it when it comes to eating instead of just our thoughts.

Mindfulness, taste, smell, texture of the food a.k.a. being present when eating. Intuitive, recognizing the satiety signal when we are satisfied. Mindfulness and Intuition are "Partners in crime". So to speak.

My doctor just recommended this to me - I’m just not sure if I can do this - i quit dieting last year and immediately gained 35 lbs after being keto for two years - my brain tells me to choose cookies for breakfast

Intuitive eating only works if you understand WHY you are turning to food so much.. I absolutely love your book 50 ways to soothe yourself. Intuitive eating is not for everyone because in the ie world they push you to just eat the food and you will know you had enough. I had to look at why...ways I eating...ie world not common
