Obesity has become a global epidemic. According to the World Health Organization, 1.9 billion adults are overweight, and 650 million are obese. In 2015, the percentage of obese adults in the U.S. was 36.5 percent. Even more alarming, the number of overweight children has risen sharply over the past decade. If current trends continue, the number of obese children will double by 2025. Although obesity can be caused by poor diet, lack of exercise, and genetics, most experts agree that the largest contributing factor is our fast-paced, ultra-processed food lifestyle. According to the World Health Organization, these types of foods cause food-related diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. So what is the answer?

What is Intuitive Eating?
[Intro]: Intuitive Eating is an eating disorder that was popularized by Evelyn Tribble. The idea is that it is the process of using your five senses to eat. Instead of eating something because you’re bored, or because it’s on a plate, you eat because you’re hungry. You eat until you’re full. You eat when you’re physically hungry, but not because of emotional eating. The key to Intuitive Eating is you’re in charge of what you eat. You’re in charge of how much you eat, and when you eat. There is no debate about what foods you should or shouldn’t eat, it’s just what you’re going to eat. You’re in charge. And you don’t think about it. If you want to lose weight, Intuitive Eating could be a great way to start. However, it’s important to remember that Intuitive Eating is about learning to eat and enjoying food. And, the more you learn to do that, the better you’re going to be.
The Pros and Cons of Intuitive Eating
One of the most common questions that I get is “what is intuitive eating”? This is a lifestyle approach to dieting. Intuitive eating has many of the same goals as calorie counting and dieting, but the focus is on providing healthy foods, while letting hunger and fullness guide your portion sizes. Intuitive eating is different from what we’re used to thinking of as a typical diet because it’s based around how you feel, not on a strict number on a scale. This means that you’re much less likely to reach for calorie-dense foods, like cookies, ice cream, and doughnuts. Instead, you’ll be eating healthy foods that fill you up, so that you don’t feel hungry or need to overeat. The major benefit of intuitive eating is that it’s not focused on a specific number on a scale, but on a feeling of fullness and hunger. This is based on when you feel full rather than on a number, and gives you the control that you need to eat a healthy and well-balanced diet.
Does It Work?
A recent study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders looked at the effects of intuitive eating on weight loss. Intuitive eating is an eating style that focuses on the importance of being in tune with your body. It’s not about deprivation, but rather about making sure you’re getting the nutrients you need from your food. Some people eat intuitively because they enjoy eating foods that are high in flavor and that make them feel good. Others eat intuitively because they don’t believe in dieting. Intuitive eating isn’t about looking for the best way to lose weight, but rather the best way to keep your body healthy and happy. Intuitive eating doesn’t involve diets, or using food as a tool to manipulate your body. It’s about nourishing yourself through the foods you eat, and using intuitive eating to gain the best possible health and wellness.
How to Lose Weight Intuitively
We all have our goals and I’m sure they are somewhat different for each of us, but, for some of us, our weight loss goals are to lose a few pounds, and for others, they are to get rid of that pesky extra few pounds on their waist. The most successful weight loss plans tend to be those that are intuitively appropriate for you. So, if losing weight is important to you, and you’ve given some thought to how you might go about doing this, consider the following: First, understand your weight loss goal. Are you trying to lose a few pounds or a whole lot of weight? Then, look to what is likely to be successful for you. Will losing a few pounds help you to achieve your goal? Are you likely to succeed at losing weight if you follow a plan that involves diet and exercise? Is the plan you’ve chosen in line with your lifestyle and your current habits? Also, look to what is likely to be more motivating to you, and what would motivate others around you. This will help you to form an effective weight loss plan.
Is Intuitive Eating Better Than Dieting?
The one thing that has become clear is that every dieter, no matter how good they are, will eventually fail to lose weight because their body is simply unable to achieve the fat loss it requires to see results. So the question you need to ask is not ‘why can’t I lose weight?’ but ‘why can’t I lose weight now, after being on so many diets?’ The answer lies in the way you eat. Your body likes a few key components, in order of preference, and if you are ignoring these components then you will simply not lose weight.
