5 Resilient Strategies to Unlock Your Essential Conscious Eating Habits
WHAT IS INTUITIVE EATING?
Also called mindful eating or conscious eating, intuitive eating brings up the thoughts and reasons of why we eat. But what is it?
Evelyn Tribole MS RD and Elyse Resch MS RD FADA CEDRD cowrote the book Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program That Works
They address in their book many problems we face today when eating. They provide a solution to chronic dieting and the stress that can come with eating. They teach ways to get back to eating how we did as babies, eating when we’re hungry and stopping when we’re full.
Have you ever wanted to lose weight for an event? You maybe planned to go on a crash diet that your friend suggested, binging on the “bad” food the night before you were supposed to start.
The next week you were meticulous about what you ate and counted every little thing, only to be left with cravings of that “bad” food and giving in and binging.
Finally, the big day comes and you’re the same or worse off than before you started the diet. Suddenly, you’re filled with guilt, sadness, regret, shame and a myriad of emotions all brought on by a number.
These women discuss the psychology behind why we eat what we eat and ways to transform back to eating with purpose and being present.
They also address exercise and how that may further the diet mentality and distort self perception if not done in a healthy state of mind.
Addressing the psychology of eating brings about many questions.
