#140: How to Refocus If You Feel Lost or Stuck With Intuitive Eating

Rebuilding Trust With Your Body

Get unstuck if you’re feeling lost or confused with intuitive eating!

Given that intuitive eating is an approach towards food that’s much different from dieting because it doesn’t include rules to follow, it’s easy to feel like you’re floundering like a fish out of water, or that you don’t know what you do.

Rather than winging it with food, I am going to show you how to regroup and refocus your energy on the things that are going to help you master the skills of intuitive eating like a seasoned pro.

To do so, we are going to use Principle 6 of intuitive eating, “Discover the Satisfaction Factor,” as our North Star to help all of the other Principles fall into place.

I’m also going to show you how having structure with food is going to HELP you eat more intuitively (and yes, this might sound counter-intuitive, but hear me out). I’ll be teaching you how to approach eating intentionally each day, so that your body gets what it needs, and it doesn’t become a free-for-all with food.

Key Takeaways

1. Satisfaction as the “hub” of intuitive eating: Why you should focus on this if you’re feeling lost or stuck

2. Importance of having a consistent eating schedule: This is going to help you tune into your hunger/fullness, and it’s going to help your body know what to expect

3. The 3 questions to ask yourself before you eat: This is going to help you honor your cravings AND your nutritional needs
