What it is

Intuitive Eating –
what it is and isn't

Intuitive Eating is a compassionate self-care eating framework rooted in dignity for all bodies. It is based on mindfulness and self-compassion.

Do you sometimes feel like you don't know how to eat anymore? Are you confused or overwhelmed by all the "shoulds and shouldn'ts"?

Learning to listen to your body is a journey. It starts a conversation with your internal body cues – and builds trust in yourself.

Intuitive Eating is not a diet. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

Benefits of Intuitive Eating

The benefits

Becoming an
intuitive eater

Intuitive eaters are more connected to their inner body cues. A meta-analysis of 24 studies found the following benefits:

  • Greater body appreciation and satisfaction
  • Positive emotional functioning
  • Greater life satisfaction
  • Unconditional self-regard and optimism
  • Psychological hardiness
  • Greater motivation to exercise for enjoyment rather than guilt
