Intuitive eating, on one hand, is something we are all born doing, because as babies and toddler we “intuitively” eat in tune with our bodies’ hunger and fullness cues, and vary what foods we gravitate to over time. As adults, we often need to relearn how to eat intuitively, especially if we have a history of dieting, and that that’s the focus of the book “Intuitive Eating,” by dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. It’s a way of guiding your eating through your body’s internal wisdom (which is always there, even if it’s gone “dormant”) rather than through external rules and eating triggers. One of the intuitive eating principles is “permission to eat” and many people interpret that to mean the can give themselves permission to eat nothing but cookies. While that is technically true (you’re an adult, you can do what you want), that’s not what intuitive eating is about, I promise you…it does consider nutrition!
