Intuitive Eating

When you receive kindness, it does something special to your brain, it calms your threat response. When you are kind to yourself the same happens. So be the voice you need to hear.

For chronic dieters feeling and honouring your hunger (the second principle of intuitive eating) can be a tricky principle to embrace. Our body sends out hunger signals for a reason – so we will eat! If you’ve been duped by diet culture for a long time, you may have heard ‘tips’ such as ‘when you get hungry have a drink, you are probably thirsty’ or ‘fill up on low-calorie air-foods to trick your body to be full’. This is all bullshit. Your body is pretty smart, we need to keep it fed with with adequate energy so it will let us know when we need to eat.
