Why knowing what to eat isn’t working
Many of us may think that we know what we should or should not eat to lead a healthy lifestyle 😏.
While knowing what to eat is important, it is not enough on its own.
Nutrition is much more than just knowing which foods are beneficial for our bodies.
It is a personal journey that involves
breaking old habits
dealing with emotional ties to food
Even figuring out how social and cultural influences play a role in your eating habits! We’re all special 🤗
Before you begin your weight loss journey, it’s essential to pinpoint what specific challenges you face 😩
Do you know what they are? (write them down dumb dumb)
This guide may help you understand these struggles which will help you overcome them and build healthier habits.
Concepts like intuitive and mindful eating included in this guide can be helpful in this process.
What is intuitive and mindful eating?
Intuitive eating is:
A self-care approach to eating🧘🏼
Forget the calorie counting apps, the color-coded meal plans, and the celery juice cleanses—this is about listening to your body.
Instead of letting your emotions, food availability, or social settings boss you around, intuitive eating is all about tuning into your body’s natural “I’m hungry” and “I’m full” signals. Crazy idea, right? Eating when you’re actually hungry!😁
Mindful eating is:
A part of intuitive eating where you are really paying attention to your food, savoring every bite and not aimlessly eating!
It considers your feelings and why you’re eating in the first place. Are you genuinely hungry, or just munching because you're bored?🥱
The whole point of intuitive and mindful eating is to help you build a healthier relationship with food where you are not feeling guilty every time you eat a cookie. It focuses on balancing both your physical and psychological needs, so if you’re fed up with fad diets and ready to eat in a way that makes sense (and actually works), this might be your new favorite thing.
Does it actually work?
Honestly, how long were you able to stay on that keto diet? Probably not long because no fad diet is sustainable or easy to follow for a long time. Unlike other diets, intuitive and mindful eating are far more sustainable and allow you to enjoy healthy eating without having to give up croissants forever (win, win situation if you ask me!)
The science doesn’t lie and research has shown that intuitive and mindful eating helped people:
Lose weight
Make healthier eating choices 🍎
Have better body image
Have better mental health 😌
