#Repost @evelyntribole with @get_repost ・・・ I’ve been getting a lot of dm’s about dubious posts & misinformation about Intuitive Eating 🤦🏻♀️. So here’s a repost to shed some light. ・・・ As exciting as it is to see #IntuitiveEating gain popularity, it’s also important to recognize that misrepresentations, misapplications, and misappropriations abound. Diet culture is really sneaky and is co-opting Intuitive Eating big time. This makes learning how to spot fake Intuitive Eating an incredibly valuable skill! Here are red flags I commonly see: * Intuitive Eating is NOT the absence of counting macros on the weekend. There is no counting macros or points with IE. * Intuitive Eating is NOT your ‘cheat day’. * Intuitive Eating is NOT aligned with any weight loss food plan, including keto or any program with food rules for the purpose of shrinking your body. * Intuitive Eating is about creating a healthy relationship with food, mind, and body. It’s also about bringing joy and pleasure back to the experience of eating. It’s NOT about the pursuit of weight loss. * Intuitive Eating is not a diet: it's a journey of learning and discovery—not pass or fail. There are no rules, just the 10 principles which are guide posts. You and only you get to decide what tastes/feels best in your body. You are the boss of you—you are in charge! * Intuitive Eating is far more nuanced than "eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full." It's an integration of mind-body knowledge, recognizing that life gets hectic and busy at times. Sometimes, for example, your lunch break may be before you're physically hungry - that's okay! This is where your mind knowledge comes in: your body still needs nourishment before a busy afternoon. * Intuitive Eating is Health at Every Size aligned. What other strategies do you find helpful to spot fake Intuitive Eating? Before you comment, please note: I’m here to share the research and the platform of Intuitive Eating, I will not be co-opted by or engaged with diet culture rhetoric.Any triggering comments will be deleted including fatphobic tropes or defending a diet, aka “lifestyle”. #IntuitiveEatingOfficial #Intuitiv https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_tmIqFkCr/?igshid=30ypzaxtl98p
