Pros of intuitive eating

Pros of intuitive eating

  • It acknowledges that you are an individual. The food we need is unique, and there is little chance that the latest gimmicky diet is going to be the perfect fit for your body.
  • It leaves room for your needs to change over time. What our bodies want and need at age 18 is different from age 68, and may even differ from week to week.
  • You will focus on being attuned to your body and how foods make you feel. .
  • You will eat when you are hungry, which makes it easier to commit to. 
  • It acknowledges that some bodies benefit from certain foods, while they are not healthy for others.
  • Intuitive eating may help you maintain a healthier weight long-term.
  • It defines “success” as progress over time.

Cons of intuitive eating

  • It can take time to tune into your body and get the balance right. Sensing whether you are full or hungry requires tuning into your body’s signals; this can be very difficult for some people.
  • Engineered foods can fool our bodies into thinking we are hungry when we are not.
  • If you want to lose weight, you will need to include physical activity. Research shows that intuitive eating is good for maintaining your current weight, but intuitive eating alone probably won’t help you lose weight unless you pair it with an exercise regimen.
  • Some people simply prefer more structure. Intuitive eating may feel too open-ended.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
