#135: Why "Just Let Yourself Eat" Isn't Working For You
Manage episode 425549486 series 3291917
If you’ve been approaching intuitive eating as “just let yourself eat,” there’s a good chance this isn’t working very well for you. The sentiment behind “just let yourself eat” is beautiful, but the reality is that you’re probably all over the place with food.
Dieting teaches us to trick or ignore our hunger signals. How many times have you been told, “Drink a glass of water before you eat.” Or, “If you’re really hungry you’d eat an apple.” The underlying message is that you can’t trust your body. So to reject this message and to listen to your body can be trickier than “just letting yourself eat.”
Key Takeaways In This Episode:
- “Just letting yourself eat” often turns into IMPULSIVE eating, not INTUITIVE eating. There’s a big difference.
- Creating some semi-structure with your eating schedule will actually help you become more dialed into your hunger and fullness signals.
- Learn my simple 5-step framework for how to reconnect with your hunger and fullness so you know exactly what to do in the moment to listen to your body (rather than winging it with food).
Whether you’re a newbie to the intuitive eating world (welcome!), or if you’ve been doing it for a while, you’re going to get value out of the strategies in this episode to help you know what to do before you eat, while you’re eating and after you eat - so that you can become a seasoned pro at listening to your body with food.
