INTUITIVE EATING
becoming the expert of yourself
what is intuitive eating?
Intuitive eating is an evidence-based framework that helps you discover and connect to your mind and body. Diet culture and fad diets often encourage us to ignore our body signals, eat only what is prescribed, and try to control our body shape with food. This can lead to restriction, anxiety around food, and ultimately weight gain beyond your original body weight.
Intuitive eating helps you honour your health by gaining awareness of your body’s signals. Listening and responding to your body’s internal wisdom guides you to meet your physical and psychological needs. Intuitive eating is a personal journey to empowerment as only you know what is right for your body.
intuitive eating might be right for you if:
• You’re tired of fad diets that don’t live up to their promises of weight loss. You may have noticed weight gain over the years of dieting.
• Thoughts about food and what is “good” and “bad” take up a lot of your day
• You avoid certain foods at all costs, for fear of losing control with eating
• You have anxiety and concern around eating specific foods
• You’re ready to break free from diet cycling and enjoy food freedom
All of our dietitians at Intuition Dietitian Corp. use intuitive eating principles with their clients. Sandra Thies, Sara Friedrich, and Joelle Davidson are Certified Intuitive Eating Counselors.
