Intuitive Eating

Meaning

Intuitive Eating is a dynamic, non-dieting framework for health that emphasizes reconnecting with and honoring the body’s internal hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues. This approach moves away from external rules and restrictive dieting, focusing instead on fostering a healthy, sustainable relationship with food and body image. It involves ten core principles, including rejecting the diet mentality and respecting one’s body, which collectively promote psychological and physical well-being. By restoring hormonal and metabolic balance, it can help regulate appetite-controlling hormones like ghrelin and leptin.
