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
