Intuitive Eating What Does It Really Mean? Special Guest Katelyn Parsons

<p>In our quest for living a “healthy” life, we often look outside ourselves for the answers we are looking for. We want a quick fix - a magic bullet! Someone to tell us when, why and how we should eat. Smart, this way we are not accountable for the results. Not smart if you expect long term success and optimal health.</p> <p>Our bodies are incredibly intelligent, we possess everything we need to live a happy, healthy life. The problem is, we don’t trust ourselves anymore. On tonight's episode, we will discuss the “why” behind the lack of trust, and what we can do to reclaim our power!</p> <p><em><strong>What the heck is Intuitive Eating?</strong></em></p> <p>Intuitive eating is an approach that was created by two registered dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch, in 1995. &nbsp;They have written &nbsp;so many books and taken part in many &nbsp;scientific trials studying and developing &nbsp;their method: Intuitive Eating Approach.</p> <p><strong>Yes - we say this all the time, it’s not NEW!</strong></p> <p>As babies, we’re all born intuitive eaters. Babies cry, eat, and then stop eating until they’re hungry again, they know when they are hungry AND when they are FULL. Toddlers - same, &nbsp;have an innate sense of balancing their food intake from day-to-day, eating when they’re hungry and stopping when they’re full. As we age, rules and restrictions placed around food start to blur our choices. We are often told when we are young, that we have to finish everything on our plate and that dessert is a reward for finishing our dinner. Right?</p> <p>Does any of this sound familiar so far? We are told that certain foods are good for us and others are bad. In short, we lose our own ability to make decisions based on our own feelings and lose our &nbsp;inner “intuitive eater”.</p> <p><strong>How can you reclaim your power and inner intuitive eater?</strong></p> <p><strong>Our special guest is Katelyn Parsons.
