Far more than a fad, intuitive eating helps you rethink your attitude to food
. As you can see, they are all educated and qualified to work in the NHS, as well as dedicated to nutrition myth-busing. ‘A combination of research has shown diets do not work long term,’ says Turner. Think about it: the global diet industry - worth an estimated £136 billion - only exists because people like us keep going back to them. Because the truth is, diets don't work 80% of the time.
Intuitive Eating doesn’t have the simple appeal of a diet, because you have to work on your thoughts, belief and behaviours, not just eat to a plan. The upside is, you can’t screw it up like you can a diet - it’s a process. Part of the Intuitive Eating process is about self-compassion, a kind way of treating ourselves and there’s mindfulness in there too, to help you learn to read your body. Like an eating plan, the goal is a ‘healthy diet’ but it isn’t the usual nutrition-focused definition.
Imagine a fuel gauge, where zero is empty and 10 is stuffed to bursting. Five is neutral, neither hungry nor full. If you wait until 1 or 2 to eat, you will most likely end up rebound eating, which can feel out of control. As a suggestion , try to eat when you’re a 3. Thomas also suggests three meals a day, plus two to four snacks - but again, do what suits you.
There’s usually a niggling part of your brain still saying, ‘you can’t have that’ or ‘that’s not healthy’. It thinks in all or nothing terms: if you eat sugar, you will get fat! ‘But balance is over time not a single meal,’ says Thomas.Each time your food critic judges a food, reframe it with three counter arguments. Eg: your food critic says ‘don’t eat the cookie’, you reframe: 1) It will satisfy my cravings so I can stop thinking about food.
