Three approaches to well-being that challenge the traditional focus on dieting.
And carbs, instead of being taboo, are appreciated for providing energy for essential functions like brain activity.
Along with rejecting the idea of good foods and bad foods, this philosophy rejects the idea of foods asor reward. Someone might say, “I’ve eaten salads all day. I’m going to reward myself with ice cream.” But the problem with this is it gets in the way of knowing what your body really wants. The idea of ice cream becomes appealing just because it’s seen as a reward, but what if your body really wants another salad? Or salmon? Or a burger?
Alternatively, food can be used as a punishment: I had a cheeseburger at lunch, so I must have quinoa for dinner. This thought leaves no space for you to actually want quinoa, which can be delicious. The bottom line is to stop thinking of different foods as either punishments or rewards—they’re best when embraced as part of a balanced diet.Intuitive eating is focused on listening to the cues your body gives such as hunger, fullness, and cravings.
You trust your body to make up for any mistake you might make in eating. Intuitive eating allows people to experience more freedom with food, and when people feel that way, they actually fall into a way of eating that is healthier and more sustainable than any diet.. St. Martin’s Griffin.
