Intuitive Eating Is the Opposite of Dieting-That's Why We Love It
Intuitive eating
This is not a diet. Intuitive eating is an approach to health and food that emphasizes learning to give your body what it needs.
It doesn't involve rules related to how or w...
Quiet your inner food police
Recognize and silence your inner critic.
An example of your inner food police: if you're scanning a restaurant menu and you catch yourself saying "That’s not healthy. That’s too many servings. That’s too high fat, " that voice is not yours, although it feels like it. It's only fueled by external messaging.
Stop moralizing
Food isn’t good or bad. Don't fall for this 'black or white' way of thinking.
Health and nutrition exist on a gradient. Keeping your health in mind when making food choices is totally in line with intuitive eating, but being rigid about healthy eating isn’t.

What Is Intuitive Eating? Ditch Your Diet And Eat For Wellness, Instead
Intuitive eating
Intuitive eating involves coming to peace with your body’s needs, letting go of the guilt associated with eating and ending the struggle of rules.
Intuitive eating and mindful eating
With mindful eating, there is no explicit rejection of dieting.
Intuitive eating rejects the diet mentality altogether—that’s the biggest difference.
Principles of intuitive eating
- Honor your hunger. Reject the diet mentality, make peace with food and challenge the food police.
- The act of eating. Respect your fullness, and discover the food delight factor.
- The emotion of eating. Honor your feelings without using food, and respect your body.
- Exercise—feel the difference.
- Honor your health.

A Quick Guide to Intuitive Eating
Intuitive eating
It is a philosophy of eating that makes you the expert of your body and its hunger signals.
Essentially, it’s the opposite of a traditional diet. It doesn’t impose guidelines about wha...
The basics
To eat intuitively, you may need to relearn how to trust your body. Distinguish between physical and emotional hunger:
- Physical hunger. This biological urge tells you to replenish nutrients. It builds gradually and has different signals, such as a growling stomach, fatigue, or irritability.
- Emotional hunger. This is driven by emotional need. Sadness, loneliness, and boredom are some of the feelings that can create cravings for food, often comfort foods.
History of intuitive eating
Some of the concepts of intuitive eating have been around at least since the early 1970s, though the term wasn’t coined until 1995.
The program was built on the principle that diets don’t work and that lifestyle changes and personal care are more important for long-term health.
