What is intuitive eating?

Intuitive eating is a scientifically-studied paradigm intended to help you heal your relationship with food. Research shows that intuitive eaters have less food preoccupation, lower rates of disordered and emotional eating, reduced stress, higher levels of self-esteem and contentment, and better body image. Studies have also shown intuitive eaters have improved cholesterol levels and improved metabolism. So not only does intuitive eating help you heal your relationship with food, it also can help improve your mental and physical health.

*WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NUTRITIONIST AND A DIETITIAN?

Dietitians are required to complete:
  • bachelor's degree (and soon as master's!)
  • 1200 hours of supervised practice in at least 4 different settings 
  • pass the RD exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration
  • 75 continuing education hours every 5 years to maintain the credential. 

To be a nutritionist, it is often a certificate program with no mandated education or supervision requirements.

It's important to research who you are accepting nutrition advice from to avoid misinformation (and, often, diet culture BS) and always make sure it is from a REGISTERED DIETITIAN.

*WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NUTRITIONIST AND A DIETITIAN?

Although it is important to consider a professional's credentials, lived experience is also something important to consider. Sometimes formal education is not always accessible, but individuals can still provide support and care through their own lived experience, especially with eating disorders and weight stigma. I am always open to learning and creating an inclusive space for all.

Should I lose weight before starting intuitive eating

Intuitive eating is for everyone and every body. And you don’t have to lose weight before starting. In fact, I would highly recommend not dieting to lose weight before starting intuitive eating. If you are denying your internal hunger cues in order to lose weight, likely you will not keep this weight loss off and fully jumping into intuitive eating may be even more difficult. And as we know, dieting frequently triggers backlash eating as well as metabolism damage. Dieting before intuitive eating would more than likely just lead to an even more chaotic feeling “honeymooon” period that would reinforce the perceived need to restrict and control.
