Jon Robison, author of 10 Things You Can Do Right Now to Ease Concerns about Your Weight and Improve Your Health, offers the following advice on learning to be an intuitive eater:
“Learn to eat according to your internal signals; appetite, hunger and satiety. By paying attention to these signals, you can avoid having to pay someone else to tell you what and how much to eat.
NOTE: For some people, eating can become a stand-in for other hungers that are not being satisfied. These may be related to a search for life balance, connection or meaning and purpose.
Sometimes, there may also be deep-seated struggles with depression, anxiety and trauma that get played out with food. It is critical that these underlying issues be addressed. It is even more critical that no matter how much of a problem food and weight have become for an individual, with few exceptions, external food restriction will almost certainly cause more harm than good.”
