Intuitive eating

Intuitive eating aims to create a diet personal to one's health needs and wants. Its goals are rejecting common diet culture claims, promoting food freedom, fostering a positive relationship with food, being your own body's ideal body weight to support your life, and advancing body acceptance. There are ten guiding principles associated with intuitive eating.[1]

Intuitive eating is an approach to eating that focuses on the body's response to cues of hunger and satisfaction.[2][3] It aims to foster a positive relationship with food as opposed to pursuing "weight control".[4] Additionally, intuitive eating aims to change users' views about dieting, health, and wellness, instilling a more holistic approach.[1] It also helps to create a positive attitude and relationship towards food, physical activity, and the body.[4]

The term "intuitive eating", coined by registered dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, first appeared in a 1990s peer-reviewed journal article.[5] In 2012, Tribole's and Resch's book Intuitive Eating: A Revolutionary Program that Works was published, identifying ten components of intuitive eating and reviewing the scientific research that has been conducted on it.[1]
