"Intuitive eating" is a mindful, non-diet approach to eating that’s all about taking care of your mind and body with your food choices and physical activity. The practice involves self-awareness, body attunement (learning to notice hunger and fullness levels), coping with emotion without using food, and exercise for fitness, movement, and strength. We encourage patients to stop focusing on weight loss. This leads to greater self-confidence in positive lifestyle changes, a happier mindset, and a desire to keep going with self-care long term.
