    #140: How to Refocus If You Feel Lost or Stuck With Intuitive Eating

    #140: How to Refocus If You Feel Lost or Stuck With Intuitive Eating

    Get unstuck if you’re feeling lost or confused with intuitive eating! 
     
    Given that intuitive eating is an approach towards food that’s much different from dieting because it doesn’t include rules to follow, it’s easy to feel like you’re floundering like a fish out of water, or that you don’t know what you do. 
     
    Rather than winging it with food, I am going to show you how to regroup and refocus your energy on the things that are going to help you master the skills of intuitive eating like a seasoned pro. 
     
    To do so, we are going to use Principle 6 of intuitive eating, “Discover the Satisfaction Factor,” as our North Star to help all of the other Principles fall into place. 
     
    I’m also going to show you how having structure with food is going to HELP you eat more intuitively (and yes, this might sound counter-intuitive, but hear me out). I’ll be teaching you how to approach eating intentionally each day, so that your body gets what it needs, and it doesn’t become a free-for-all with food.
     
    Key Takeaways
     
    1. Satisfaction as the “hub” of intuitive eating: Why you should focus on this if you’re feeling lost or stuck
    2. Importance of having a consistent eating schedule: This is going to help you tune into your hunger/fullness, and it’s going to help your body know what to expect
    3. The 3 questions to ask yourself before you eat: This is going to help you honor your cravings AND your nutritional needs
     
    Episode Highlights
     
    Focusing on Principle 6 of Intuitive Eating, “Discover the Satisfaction Factor” will help you implement all of the other principles with more clarity Just because you feel stuck or worried that intuitive eating won’t work for you doesn’t mean you should give up.  Join my upcoming masterclass on how to troubleshoot why intuitive eating isn’t working for you, and how to get unstuck

    #139: The 3 Things I Wish I Could Go Back and Tell You Before You Started Intuitive Eating

    #139: The 3 Things I Wish I Could Go Back and Tell You Before You Started Intuitive Eating

    What I would tell you in the very beginning so that you can implement intuitive eating the right way, without getting lost, stuck or way off base! This episode goes hand-in-hand with the next episode, #140: How to Refocus If You Feel Lost or Stuck With Intuitive Eating. You can think of these episodes like sisters or besties, so make sure you listen to that one next!
     
    Looking back, I wish someone would have told me a few things when I was first getting into intuitive eating and healing my own relationship with food. Even as a dietitian, there were things I didn’t know and things I didn’t realize in the very beginning. 
     
    In this episode, we’ll dig into Principle 3 of intuitive eating, which is called “Make Peace With Food,” you’re going to see that having peace with food doesn’t just mean eating whatever the heck you want, whenever you want it. 
     
    If you’ve been trying to figure out how you can ditch dieting, embrace intuitive eating, and make peace with food, today’s episode is exactly what you need to hear! I’m going to share the mindset shift that completely changed how I approach my eating, and it is something that has given tons of my clients their own “ah-ha” moments as well. 
     
    Key Takeaways
     
    1. Neutralizing your judgments about food: You can’t truly have peace with food if you’re still labeling it as good/bad or healthy/unhealthy
    2. Intuitive eating vs impulsive eating: Eating “whatever you want, whenever you want” isn’t going to get you where you want to be.
    3. Peace with food means saying yes AND no to food: It’s equally as important to let yourself eat what you desire, as well as being able to say no to food when you’re not hungry or it doesn’t meet your body’s needs.
     
    Episode Highlights
     
    A deep dive into why Principle 3 of Intuitive Eating, “Make Peace With Food” is such a game changer. Saying “no” to food without it feeling restrictive Make sure you go listen to Episode 140 which pairs with this episode!

    #138: MACRONUTRIENT SERIES: Carbs (gasp!) How Many Does Your Body Actually Need Each Day?

    #138: MACRONUTRIENT SERIES: Carbs (gasp!) How Many Does Your Body Actually Need Each Day?

    This episode is part of the MACRONUTRIENT SERIES which contains episodes about carbohydrates, protein and fat. Make sure you’re subscribed so that you automatically get all of the episodes, and go back and listen to the protein episode after you’re done with this one. IIt’s linked below. 
     
    Today we are talking about carbohydrates, aka “carbs.” Carbs are so scary these days that you could dress up as bread for Halloween and send chills down people’s spines (maybe a slight exaggeration). Diet culture has us thinking that we’re going to gain a ton of weight and instantly get diabetes if we have carbs, but that’s not how it works.
     
    We’re going to break down the science behind carbs, how to figure out what amount of carbs is right for YOUR body’s individual needs, and how to use the skills of intuitive eating to figure this out…no tracking or measuring required!
     
    Key Takeaways
     
    1. What even are carbs?
    2. What happens when you don’t eat enough carbs
    3. What happens when you eat too many carbs
    4. How many carbs do you need per day?

    Key Takeaways
     
    1. Body image challenges: Things like chafing, wearing shorts, and being sweaty can be extra hard in the summer. We’re going to talk openly about it!
    2. Live life fully: Instead of avoiding events, hiding in the back of photos, or wearing pants when it’s a million degrees outside - let’s lean into experiencing joy in your body as it is right now.
    3. Dieting doesn’t solve anything: As tempting as it might be to go on a diet to slim down for summer events, it’s not going to help you.

    #135: Why "Just Let Yourself Eat" Isn't Working For You

    #135: Why "Just Let Yourself Eat" Isn't Working For You

    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.

So helpful!

Katy has changed my entire perspective on Intuitive Eating. She is clear, down to earth, wise and funny at times. I especially appreciated this episode where she defines the difference between impulsive and intuitive eating, and also says honestly that the process takes time. I wish I’d known all this when I started the IR process. She has given me hope.

Reassuring and informative

Katy is highly skilled in both knowing the information, as well as in the sharing. I always learn something new, whether it’s a less judgmental way of thinking, or increasing self-compassion in the struggle of making peace with my body. More importantly I feel reassured and hopeful listening to her. Thank you for making such a wonderful podcast!
