Hey everyone and welcome back to Fresh and Healthy YouTube. So before we start anything but I'm excited for this intuitive eating series I just need a cover of few things that were brought up in the comments in my last video. Anything with a short-term fix or something that is instant medicine for a problem you could say is probably not going to offer long-term results. Now in intuitive eating you can be thankful because it does offer long-term results but the thing is is that it's not a quick fix it's not going to happen overnight. As you start applying these principles I'm going to walk you guys through. It's not going to be oh a light switch goes on and now I can intuitively eat. Now I will never binge eat again. Now I will never restrict again. Now I will never count calories again. It's not like that. Unfortunately guys I hate to break it to you but it's a long process. For me as I started working through these intuitive eating habits myself it took a while. It took a long while and there was still days where I restricted food. There was still days where I didn't give myself enough food during the day so then I would binge at night. It's not a perfect process. It's not going to be a perfect journey. Never will. So I just want to make that clear because I don't ever want to portray this picture to you guys that it's easy and then once you do it you're free and you'll never have a problem again and it's a quick solution to all of your problems. Trouble free life that's not how it is. So just want to get that clear out there because I know there are some comments below and I'm playing the last video and I just want to clear that up for you guys. So now I'm excited because we are going to get to the 10 principles of intuitive eating guys and I'm so excited for this. I'm going to walk you through. They're all in the intuitive eating book but I'm going to just go principle by principle and talk about how I apply that to myself and how that kind of worked into my life and yeah and hopefully there will be comments below. So first things first guys, principle number one reject the diet mentality. This is key if you're going to intuitively because if you try to be on the fence, if you try to kind of apply into it eating kind of still diet, kind of still watch your like calories kind of still restrict. It's not going to work and it's an all-or-nothing thing. You've really got to get rid of all that diet mentality, all those food rolls you've kept for so long. All of those fears of eating certain foods, everything, it's got to go out the door if you're going to listen to your body because if you don't listen to your body all the time then it's just going to confuse your signals for the other time that you're trying to listen to it. Like say you try to restrict during the day but then you try to intuitively eat at night. You're not going to be able to do that because your body is going to be like I haven't had enough food yet today so I'm going to just start bingeing on all this and I can't listen to my hungry signals. So that is that guys. We are going to go more into depth on that but right now that is that. Number two is honoring your hunger kind of self-explanatory but of course we're going to go into depth with all these principles so I don't want to talk too much about any event. Number three is making peace with food. This is a fun one. Can't wait to talk about that one. Number four is challenging the food police. That's another one where we're going to start challenging a lot of those long-held beliefs and fears. Number five is respecting your fullness as well as your hunger so this kind of is where bingeing comes into play and really just learning how to respect your fullness knowing when you're full. Yeah. Number six is discovering the satisfaction factor. That is a good one. I will talk about how that place is in my life by that is number six. Number seven is honoring your emotions without food. So we've all had those times where we take a corner by a stream to our room because we're upset or you know you're stressed or even you're happy until you turn to food. So just honoring your emotions without food because a lot of we eat not because of hunger but because of emotion. Number eight is respecting your body. This goes back to my very first video, my last video. Everyone has a set point. Everybody has a different body type and you have to respect that you're going to intuitively. You have to be okay with the genetics you've been given and that's hard sometimes. It's really hard to accept. So this is a principle that we're going to have to work hard on. Number nine is exercising to feel the difference instead of for burning a certain amount of calories or because you ate a lot last night so you need an exercise or anything like that. It's more of exercising because I know it makes me feel good. So that is number nine. And number ten is just honoring your health. So guys I cannot wait to share all these principles and how they apply to my life and how we can work through these together. I hope this video series helps you guys. Of course if there's any specific questions comment below and I will try to answer them before going into any individual principle in the coming videos. And yeah so that is that.
