Intuitive Eating: Where to begin?
Interoceptive awareness is your ability to perceive your body’s signals, whether loud and blaring, or soft and subtle.
As it turns out, studies have shown that Intuitive Eaters have greater interoceptive awareness than their non-Intuitive Eating counterparts (Herbert et al., 2013). If you meditate, your interoceptive awareness is likely pretty solid as well.
So, becoming an Intuitive Eater involves both: tuning IN to your interoceptive awareness frequency, while tuning OUT any static or interference (things like diet culture, unwanted opinions, self-doubt, etc).
A new chapter: Intuitive Eating
We're taught about portion sizes (because apparently one size fits all) and fasting windows and macros and calories and step-counts. We've normalized restricting food - "going on a diet," and following strict rules (because clearly we cannot be trusted).
Intuitive Eating asks that you trust yourself and reject the rules
How do you uphold “diet culture?”
Pistachio, Walnut & Rose Luscious Love Balls
Heart-healthy Valentine’s Day themed energy balls packed with walnuts, pistachios, cardamom and rose petals, these mini treats are as beautiful as they are delicious.
The BEST Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Loaded with cardamom, dried rose petals, two types of pepper and dark chocolate, with a chewy-crunchy texture, this is the cookie of my dreams.
Marinated Bean Salad
Marinating cooked beans may seem like an extra step - but it’s well worth the added flavor and punchiness you’ll enjoy in every bite of this salad.
Flu-fighting Lentil Bean Soup
A deeply comforting, anti-inflammatory soup packed with veggies, simmered in a lightly spiced broth and served with a dollop of lemon-tahini dressing.
Blueberry coconut bliss bites
These tasty morsels are a variation on the "Raw Brownie Bites" from my Reset Cookbook. They come together with minimal effort, are rich in satiating fats - almonds and coconut; stacked with fiber; and are tinged with the sweet tang of blueberries. They're also the perfect hiking companion!
