Thank you to the The Original Intuitive Eating Pros (more information here).
I read this while I relaxed at acupuncture for the second night in a row. It is probably the most peaceful thing I've done for myself in a long time <3 It's such a sacred space to relax and to be surrounded by others who are also relaxing and reconnecting with themselves. As the acupuncturist said it's so nice to rev back your engines and let your body heal itself. That's so much what intuitive eating is about. We are bringing our methods of eating back to the years when were were a toddler or child. Children don't let themselves go hungry and they intuitively eat what they need to. "Let them eat cake"- if that's what they'll eat let them, they will stop when they are full. Our bodies did in our youth intuitively know when we were hungry, when to eat, when to stop and when to eat again when we are hungry.
I like how they call them principles instead of rules. I also know someone out there is saying, how is that different from any other diet, but it's not a diet, they are guidelines for not just eating but for living a fuller life. Once we re-learn they continue as second nature to us.
Peace, love and IE <3
