If you’ve been approaching intuitive eating as “just let yourself eat,” there’s a good chance this isn’t working very well for you. The sentiment behind “just let yourself eat” is beautiful, but the reality is that you’re probably all over the place with food.
 
Dieting teaches us to trick or ignore our hunger signals. How many times have you been told, “Drink a glass of water before you eat.” Or, “If you’re really hungry you’d eat an apple.” The underlying message is that you can’t trust your body. So to reject this message and to listen to your body can be trickier than “just letting yourself eat.” 
 
Key Takeaways In This Episode:
 
“Just letting yourself eat” often turns into IMPULSIVE eating, not INTUITIVE eating. There’s a big difference. Creating some semi-structure with your eating schedule will actually help you become more dialed into your hunger and fullness signals. Learn my simple 5-step framework for how to reconnect with your hunger and fullness so you know exactly what to do in the moment to listen to your body (rather than winging it with food).  
Whether you’re a newbie to the intuitive eating world (welcome!), or if you’ve been doing it for a while, you’re going to get value out of the strategies in this episode to help you know what to do before you eat, while you’re eating and after you eat - so that you can become a seasoned pro at listening to your body with food.

You know that moment where you’re eating and you notice that you feel full, but the food is so delicious that you want to keep eating? (Yep, me too!) In today’s episode I’m going to be sharing my 4-part framework for what to do in those instances, so that you can confidently choose whether to stop or keep eating - without guilt either way.
 
When it comes to intuitive eating, honoring your fullness is an important part of it. AND it’s also essential that you are giving yourself unconditional permission to eat (and keep eating) when you choose to do so, even if that means you’re going to be overly full. 
 
There’s no right/wrong answer in these instances. I’m going to break down the 4 steps for you to take that will help you decide whether or not you want to keep eating, and what to do next after you’re done. 
 
We’re also going to talk about a couple of key mindset shifts that are going to make it easy peasy for you to stop eating at comfortable fullness, so you don’t keep having this internal battle over whether to keep eating vs stop when you’re full.

So you’ve ditched dieting, and you started doing intuitive eating, and you find yourself eating random foods at random times of the day. You're not necessarily out of control with food, but you’re definitely all over the place. 
 
You wonder if you’re going to subsist on Doritos and ice cream for the rest of your life - and how can this possibly be “intuitive” (or healthy)?
 
In these moments it’s easy to feel like, “Intuitive eating might work for other people, but it clearly doesn’t work for me.” Your trust in yourself, your body, and in intuitive eating begins to dwindle.
 
Here’s what I want you to know: The social media version of intuitive eating and “food freedom” looks very different from the reality of what the process of healing your relationship with food truly looks like. 
 
It’s not all burgers, donuts and lattes. (Yes, those foods are obviously fine - but it’s not the fully picture of intuitive eating.)
 
In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on some of the stuff that’s not talked openly about online when it comes to intuitive eating…the unsexy stuff that people don’t want to hear. 
 
I’m going to tell you the truth, AND I’m going to show you how to keep moving forward.
