Description
In this episode, Liv and Tiffany share their experiences with finding Intuitive Eating. Diving deeper, we look at the barriers to Intuitive Eating and how to get started.
Barriers:
Diet culture
Rigid food rules growing up
Poor modeling around food
Parents who dieted
Shaming messages
Negative body image
Childhood trauma
Mental health conditions: depression, anxiety, PTSD
Pain
Getting started with IE:
Reject diet culture, food “shoulds,” judgement and shame
Celebrate awareness
Honor your body, focus on body attunement
Honor your hunger — IE encourages you to eat food, and experience fullness and satisfaction
Body acceptance/respect (gratitude for our body, self-care, body comparison, self criticism)
Honoring feelings without using food (how do I feel, what do I need?)
Honoring your health: gentle nutrition, exercise because it feels good
